About the Game

Every journey begins with the first ... Sword?! Or maybe two? The journey of a lifetime begins in a world full of magic, monsters and adventure in the nostalgic style of classic Japanese role-playing games. Defy evil in exciting battles, solve tricky puzzles, meet new friends and uncover the secrets of the world that lie hidden in the shadows of the past. It's A Life's Journey!

Discover the continent of Tasenas, a fantasy world with a mysterious past. As 15-year-old Hiro, you set out to find your grandfather's murderer and become entangled in a complex conspiracy. Meet new companions, hone your combat skills, and try to put a stop to the secret mastermind.

In turn-based battles, the AGI skill value determines how quickly characters and enemies take turns. When it's a character's turn, everyone involved in the fight waits politely for your inputs—a strategy rather than a rush.Over the course of approximately 40-50 hours of gameplay, you'll unlock new TP modes, mostly story-driven. These allow you to decide how your characters earn technique points (TP) to use techniques in battle. Adapt the TP modes to your play style and your group.

In-game translation into English is available via “Options.” Skills and quest-journal texts are currently only available in German.
