May 20, 2026Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition includes everything from the base game and epilogue DLC on Nintendo’s hybrid device. While it doesn’t perform at the same level as its counterparts on more powerful hardware, it still holds up well enough to make this a viable way to play. Fans of the original can now take the adventure on the go, though newcomers may struggle to connect with its long-winded storytelling and some dated design elements.

May 20, 2026Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition is a strong port of one of the better entries in the Tales series. Flashy combat, gorgeous graphics, and a meaty epilogue all combine to make this one a worthwhile purchase, even if lingering issues like an overlong story, spongy enemies, and underwhelming DLC can drag things out too much. If you’re looking for a solid action RPG or want a good entry point to see what the Tales games are about, I’d suggest you pick this one up when you get the chance. Some issues aside, Arise has got it where it counts, and provides a good foundation for future series entries to build upon.

May 20, 2026If you’ve been waiting to check this particular version of the game out for the first time and haven’t already played it, I think Tales of Arise: Beyond The Dawn Edition is a solid way to do so. Extra patches to smooth out stuttering and achieve a fully locked 30 frames per second would be great. Tales of Arise isn’t a perfect game, nor my favorite entry in the Tales of series, but this is a good version of it. It being feature complete is great, and if you bide your time, there might even be some extra patches to make it completely ideal for portable action game enthusiasts. This at least gives me hope that Bandai Namco is willing to commit to putting all future releases of this series on this system.
