For those hoping to jump into an expansive turn-based RPG, your time may be better spent elsewhere. Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an action RPG that gives you complete control of your character to roam around the battlefield while delivering flashy moves with the press of a button. This helps keep the action feeling hot and pays homage to its fighting game origins.

While it’s unfortunate that you can’t switch between characters in mid-combat, each character has their own unique weapon, attacks, and magic that make them stand out from one another. No matter the kind of weapon you like, there’s bound to be someone here who can help you achieve your battle dreams. Just make sure you’re keeping an eye on your character during the combat, or you may lose place of where you are.

Combat is rather fast-paced, so you’ll always be attacking and moving, making each battle you encounter feel like something out of an anime or even a fighting game, much like these characters were originally pulled from. Their origins in the arena are felt here, with each attack they deliver having a nice weight behind it all while being incredibly flashy and screen-filling to keep your attention on the screen at all times.

Be sure to keep your eyes on our Granblue Fantasy: Relink section below, as plenty of exciting features keep the game feeling fresh during its overall playtime. There’s much to do and see here, so be sure to see all these exciting options.
