Each of the Exemplars (as the platonic weapons are called) has a button assigned to them, and then your character has another. Choosing which characters to take to a level soon becomes vital.Īctual combat is an odd mixture of frantic button mashing and tactical play. As we progress through the adventure, we can find and defeat extra characters that we can then summon to our team. Nope, I don’t know what a platonic weapon is, but basically the main characters summon them to fight by imagining the forms of heroes from legend – so Apollon is summoned to be an archer, and Zulfiqar is summoned to be a big bloke with a sword, and so on and so forth.

These foes have to be got rid of, and both the characters fight in the same way, by summoning “Platonic forms of weapons”. And what action it is! Each level that we have to fight in takes the form of a side scrolling, almost endless running affair, and the running is only interrupted by the abrupt arrival of enemies that we have to fight. Some of these levels are merely there to set the scene, playing through conversations and chat, but the majority require us to burst into action. As I have mentioned, there is a map screen to navigate around which will take you to a number of different levels. It gets a little bit harder when it comes to describe what Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory is like to play. The music and battle noises are all present and correct, and broadly speaking, I have no complaints about the presentation side of the game. It’s helped that the sound sent out is also a strong point, with fully voiced cutscenes featuring reasonable acting (although Cecille does sound like her voice is being run through a device to make her sound like a robot, for some odd reason). The design of the characters you control are firmly on the anime end of the spectrum, and while the enemies range from tiny goblins to screen filling dragons, the design ethos is clear throughout. The art style is beautiful, with a lovely hand drawn vibe to not only all the characters and enemies you come across, but to the backdrops of the levels as well – even as far as the map screen, not traditionally a strong point of lots of games. The presentation is an odd one to try to describe too. Luckily, both branches play out the same, which is handy, as the combat systems are pretty bonkers too, but more on that later.

The other branch is called Flames of Rebellion, where you play as Legatus Laendur, who sees this whole succession thing as an opportunity to free his homeland from the cruel yoke of empire, and forge its own path.
