About this game

Explore regions of Dahna and fight alongside the party as Alphen and Shionne confront Rena's oppression. Battles unfold in real time, with Artes, Boost Attacks and Boost Strikes forming linked attacks. The player combines personal techniques with party support rather than selecting isolated moves alone. Animation by Ufotable also forms part of the game's presentation. Beyond the Dawn Edition contains both the original adventure and the additional scenario set after it. That later story brings new quests and dungeons, extending the party's journey into the aftermath of the base game. The edition therefore covers the liberation adventure and a follow-up narrative, with coordinated action combat as the shared mechanical focus.

Collected in series

Tales is a fantasy RPG series that combines journeys with memorable companions and action-based party battles.

7.8 / 10Nintendo Switch 2

For players who want party-linked action and a story that continues beyond the original adventure.

Linking Artes with party attacks should reward players who enjoy building combat sequences around their allies. Including a subsequent scenario gives those interested in the cast another narrative stage, with new quests and dungeons rather than only extra cosmetic content.

Strengths

  • Party Boost Attacks and Boost Strikes give combo-minded players several linked actions to build around.
  • The included expansion continues the story through additional quests and dungeons.

Who it is for: Players drawn to real-time RPG battles, coordinated party attacks and following the same cast into a subsequent story.

Play notes: Beyond the Dawn follows the base game's events; playing the original story first is the clearer route for readers avoiding later-story context.
