概要
Embark on the ultimate version of Adol Christin's Nordic adventure in this expanded definitive edition. Bound by mysterious mana chains to the Norman pirate princess Karja, players must navigate the treacherous Obelia Gulf, mastering the dual-character Cross Action system to defeat the undying Griegr. This edition seamlessly integrates the massive new Öland Island, roguelike dungeons, and enhanced naval mechanics into a cohesive masterpiece.
ストーリー
After a tense encounter at sea, the adventurer Adol and the proud Norman warrior Karja find themselves magically linked. Together, they must bridge the divide between the seafaring Normans and the land-dwelling townsfolk while investigating the emergence of immortal monsters. The 'Proud Nordics' expansion deepens this lore with the discovery of Öland Island, introducing pivotal characters like the brash Canute and capable Astrid who reshape the narrative landscape.
Gameplay
The core of the experience is the Cross Action system, allowing instant switching between Adol's fast solo attacks and Karja's heavy blows, or combining them for a synchronized Duo Mode to unleash devastating combos and guard counters. Beyond combat, players pilot the Sandras vessel across the open ocean, engaging in strategic naval battles, wind management, and boarding actions. Traversal is revolutionized by Mana actions, enabling hoverboard surfing, grappling hook swinging, and telekinetic object manipulation.
