Tales of Berseria is an upcoming Japanese role-playing game for the PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4. It is the sixteenth main entry in the Tales franchise, developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The date of release is expected to be some time in 2016, and worldwide for PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows at a later date. Like the other Tales games such as Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Symphonia, expect that Tales of Berseria will be accessible to Steam account users.

Tales of Berseria will mainly take place in the Midgand Sacred Kingdom, a powerful country that rules over the game world’s archipelago of a continent. This world is called Wasteland, and is shared with Tales of Zestiria, although the events of Berseria occur in the distant past of Zestiria. There are countless numbers of islands around, and Midgand’s rule crosses even the seas. Areas of land and islands in the game are divided into territories.
You will play as Velvet Crowe, a 19-year-old pirate who completely changed because of an incident that happened three years prior to the events of the game. Alongside her Spirit companion, Laphicet, she faces against warriors who have shed their emotions in pursuit of victory against rogue monsters.

The theme of Tales of Berseria is a clash between emotion and reason. Our protagonist, Velvet, had a plain and good humored personality, and was a girl rich in sensitivity and love for her family in the past. However, in the wake of a certain incident that occurred three years ago, she changed completely – almost as if a new person. Her smile is now almost eliminated, and she instead harbors the cold feelings known as anger and hatred. With her original kindness suppressed, and her unexpectedly cold-hearted passion burning bright, she will soon become an existence that greatly shakes the world. Her left hand, which is covered in bandages, can transform into something inhuman by way of a mysterious power that swallowed her on the day of the incident. Her left hand, similar to a Goma, exhibits superhuman powers, but seems to possess abilities different from that of a common Gyoma.
Battle Mechanics on your Steam Account
The battle system of Tales of Berseria adopts the conventional Linear Motion Battle System (LMBS), now with free-run-based character control, free camera control, and artes set to the Circle, X, Triangle, and Square buttons (for console).
Going from the conventional style of triggering artes with the left stick and Circle or X buttons, Tales of Berseria sets artes to the Circle, X, Triangle, and Square buttons. Due to this, players can concentrate on using the left stick for movement and the buttons for artes. It is similar to the conventional system and lets players intuitively link together artes. Additionally, with the addition of free camera control, you can easily adjust the viewpoint during play and change the camera to the angle of your preference.
Not much has been revealed about Tales of Berseria, save for a short summary of the plot and a few screen caps. But we’re sure that this is one of the most anticipated JRPGs coming this year. What do you think? Will you get this game for your Steam account value? Let us know in the comments below!
