    Tales of Berseria was just the perfect game for me. A nice complex yet simple gameplay (I know is weird but that is how i felt it) and one of the best stories in a videogame I have played so far. The best Tales Of Game I have played to date.
    A great character design and character develope throu the game and a nice dificulty
    A must play for me if you like JRPG

    Habe das Spiel soeben (80+ Stunden) durchgespielt. Und einfach Wow. Aber bevor ich weiter auf die Aspekte dieses tollen Spiels eingehe, möchte ich noch ein paar Worte zu meiner persönlichen Einstellung zur Tales Reihe kundtun :-).

    Ich bin ein Tales Fan seit ich das erste mal Tales of Vesperia ins Laufwerk gelegt habe. Seither habe ich fast alle Spiele dieser Reihe gespielt (bis auf 3) -    Habe das Spiel soeben (80+ Stunden) durchgespielt. Und einfach Wow. Aber bevor ich weiter auf die Aspekte dieses tollen Spiels eingehe, möchte ich noch ein paar Worte zu meiner persönlichen Einstellung zur Tales Reihe kundtun :-).

    Ich bin ein Tales Fan seit ich das erste mal Tales of Vesperia ins Laufwerk gelegt habe. Seither habe ich fast alle Spiele dieser Reihe gespielt (bis auf 3) - rückwirkend auch die älteren Ableger. Somit bediene ich mich bei meiner Rezenssion einem großen Fundus an Erfahrung was diese Serie angeht.

    --Spielmechaniken 10/10:
    Typisch Tales! Ein Actionlastiges und Effektgeladenes Kampfsystem welches in Echtzeit abläuft - einfach spaßig (und bin ich doch eigentlich ebenfalls ein Fan von rundenbasierendem Kämpfen - ja so gut ist es :-)). Grundsätzlich trifft man im jeden Tales Kampfsystem folgende Kernelemente an:
    - Artes: die serientypischen charakterspezifischen (und extrem coolen :-)) "Skills" - sowohl magisch als auch physisch anzutreffen
    - Mystic Artes (Name manchmal variierend): Die "Spezialattacken" (Effektgewitter)
    - Echtzeitkampfsystem
    - Nur der ausgewählte Aktive Charakter wird von einem gesteuert - die anderen Begleiter werden von der KI bedient

    Tales of Berseria bedient sich diesem Grundkonzept und baut es, wie fast alle Ableger, weiter aus. So gibt es in diesem Spiel eine Art "Erwachen" Modus - bei diesem können Kombos verbunden, HP wiederhergestellt, die Mystic Arte anzeige gefüllt und negative Statuseffekte verworfen werden. Dieser Modi (jeder Char hat verschiedene) bedürfen verschiedener Voraussetzungen bzw. einiges Risiko. So verliert Velvet in Sekundentakt HP - welche durch gewisse Aktionen aber wieder hergestellt werden können.

    Das Kampfsystem ist meiner Meinung nach, eine Mischung aus den Stärken von Tales of Graces F und Tales of Xillia.

    Im allgemeinen ist hier einfach das typische Tales Feeling geboten - Schnell, taktisch, wuchtig, effektgeladen und vorallem Spaßig. Ich könnte Stunden damit verbringen, die Artes auf verschiedene Weise zu kombinieren - teils um die Schwächen der Gegner auszunutzen oder einfach weil es geil aussieht :-).

    Zum Thema Schwächen. Gegner sind ihre eigene Spezies gegliedert. Des Weiteren haben sie noch Schwächen gegen bestimmte Elemente. Gerade auf höheren Schwierigkeitsgraden ist es ein Muss seine Artes den schwächen der Gegner anzupassen.

    Auch das Charaktersystem ist überaus interessant. Ausrüstung (Waffen, Zubehör, Rüstung usw.) besitzen in diesem Spiel Fähigkeiten (+ 15 Angriff, + 40 magischen Angriff, 4% mehr Schaden gegen einen Gegnertyp usw.) diese können von den Charakteren dauerhaft erlernte werden (bei gleichem Effekt auch summiert). Dies wird durch den, in der Serie bekannten, "Grade" Punkten gewährleistet. Umso mehr Grade man in einem Kampf sammelt, um so schneller erlernen die Figuren die Fähigkeiten Win-Win (Grade wird bekanntermaßen auch für New Game+ Effekte benötigt wie z.B. "Alle bekannten Artes von Beginn an verfügbar" usw.). Ein durchaus motivierender Aspekt in diesem Spiel.

    Ansonsten Serien bzw. JRPG typsisch. Mit einem Level Up werden die Parameter erhöht und manchmal neue Artes freigeschalten.

    Die Steuerung läuft ruckelfrei und direkt von der Bühne.

    --Charaktere 9/10:
    Ich kann die Empathie von manchen Spielern gegenüber Velvet (der Heroine) nicht teilen. Sie ist mir absolut sympatisch und ihre Charakterentwicklung durchaus nachvollziehbar. Aber auch die anderen Charaktere können in diesem Spiel glänzen (vorallem Magilou :-)). Allerdings ging mir der Knirps irgendwann auf die Nerven :-)... Typisch nach Tales Manier wird natürlich sehr viel Wert auf Interaktion zwischen den Char´s gelegt (Skit´s).

    --Story 10/10:
    Sehr gut umgesetzt. BANNAM hat es geschafft, eine düstere und von Rache getriebene Geschichte mit sympatischen Charakteren zu kreuzen. Ja, man ist in diesem Spiel sozusagen der (bzw. die :-)) Böse. Aber dies ist so gut umgesetzt, dass die Phasen verschwimmen. Man kann die Beweggründe einfach nachvollziehen. Egoismus, Gleichgültigkeit und Kaltblütigkeit geben sich hier die Hand mit Verständnis, Mitleid und Zielstrebigkeit - wirklich sehr gut umgesetzt. Die Geschichte um die Antihelden ist bisher die erwachsenste der Serie. Mehr verrat ich nicht.

    Spielewelt 10/10:
    Seit Tales of Vesperia habe ich keine so schöne Welt mehr in einem Tales Spiel gesehen. Die Gebiete sind abwechslungsreich, detailverliebt und schön anzusehen.

    Grafik 10/10:
    Bei mir lief dieses Spiel durchgehend auf 60 FPS... mit höchsten Einstellungen. Wirklich eine butterweiche Erfahrung und sehr schön anzusehen. Auch ist die Animegrafik zeitlos und gestochen Scharf.

    Sound 10/10:
    Motoi Sakuraba hat hier wieder eine Glanzleistung abgelegt. Von der wuchtigen Kampfmusik über das typische "Stadtgeträller" - es passt perfekt zum Spiel.    … Expand

    Tales of games are big part of why i'm still playing videogames. This is such a wonderful series. Berseria introduce female main character which is pretty rare in jrpg, on top of that she is basically villain, a pirate. Other parts are pretty classic, which means they are good.

    Tales of Berseria ist zwar mein erster Teil der Reihe, jedoch muss ich sagen dass es mir unglaublich gut gefällt bis jetzt und ich wahnsinnig gespannt bin auf die Story, die kommen wird. Gerade bei den wenigen Anime Spielen die nicht Visual Novel sind, erfüllt dieses Spiel die Lücke, in dieser Richtung der Gamingbranche.

    When Tales games are done right, they are always my favorite video game series.

    Tales of Berseria was done very very right, in fact, it has replaced Tales of Vesperia as my favorite Tales game. The story is amazing, and the characters compliment the story very well.

    Also, if you, like me, love action gameplay rather than turn based gameplay, this should be ridiculously high on your radar. (I am also a kingdom hearts and YS fan.)

    If you like anime, or even if you don't like anime, there's still an 80% chance you will like this game. In fact, it may make you start to like anime like the previous Tales games (Symphonia and Abyss) have done to me.

    The gameplay switches it up from your average Tales game, but I never got tired of it. The only thing I thought that could use work in this game was the dungeons since the puzzles were very lacking in thought. (I dislike extremely difficult puzzles but when they're very easy like in this game its hard to really even call them puzzles)

    There are also a fair amount of things to do other than the main story (which is rather long.)

    Overall, if you like Tales games. You cannot pass this up. If you like jrpgs, you cannot pass this up. If you like anime, you cannot pass this up. If you don't like anime, you can pass this up but I very very strongly encourage you not to. If you like action games and good stories, you cannot pass this up. In short, don't pass this game up.    … Expand

    For the most of gameplay time Berseria feels like a great character-based RPG experience, which is suddenly rare thing lately. It is not skipping all of JRPGs cliches, but every motivation to go forward feels personal even egoistic, instead of just being "battle against all evil". And by going forward there is an opportunity to see all sides of all story figures, even hidden ones or lost.For the most of gameplay time Berseria feels like a great character-based RPG experience, which is suddenly rare thing lately.

    On the other hand Berseria is one reasonably flexible game in choosing it's pace, difficulty and play-style itself. There is no "must grind" time, by adjusting difficulty and form of control it's possible to find most interesting or comfortable pace, and then change it whenever you like. Still "leaving no stone unturned" has benefits of achievements, fan-service, events and quests, which is fully optional, but giving your own chance to explore world a little more.    … Expand

And most of those have just reviewed this game. And most of the problems they have, are just nitpicks. There must be some serious resentment for some reason, which I can't explain. I want to keep it spoiler free, so I won't nitpick story details.

    I am not used to this game's style of combat, and it didn't really fit my prefference, because I mostly play isometric RPGs (Shadowrun, Tyranny) or action RPGs (Dark Souls, Witcher for example), or action adventures (like DMC, Darksiders). It was hard for me to figure out.

    I didn't like most JRPGs, because they had either bad pacing or stupid generic anime tropes, so this one really surprised me. It was able to utilise some of that classic anime **** but make it actually work and make it feel way less generic and actually not cringy unlike 99% of modern anime.

    Yes, there were some stupid dialogues with the "Why do the birds fly?", but the story was well constructed, without gaps and dull moments where you wouldn't care. There are other moments that do make you care and maybe even cry. The script makes sense. The twists weren't predictable, but they make sense in the whole picture. The set up to most things was really good and also makes sense. The characters make sense. The pacing is good. Characters have good chemistry between each other. They are different from characters I am used to, so I don't find them bland at all. I hate modern anime, but this felt like older anime I loved watching growing up.

    It's not perfect, of coarse, but the 1 point reviews must have some meaning behind it... probably some hurt feelings or something. I wanted to give it 8, because I didn't like the combat that much and it took me longer to figure out than Dark Souls, but I think it's just because I am not used to this style. Oh, and the ending could have been much better. It wasn't really that well explained and even though most of the game was set up very well, the ending, after you beat the last boss, wasn't that well set up. It wasn't as satisfactory as I would have hoped and left a lot of questions. That's maybe because I didn't play Tales of Zestiria, which this is a prequel of.

    But in the end, it was something new and fresh for me, so I give it a pass for the combat.    … Expand

The story has a dark tone to it, but the "skits" (many of them optional) are often quite numerous or even heartwarming. It's a balance that is perhaps confusing if you don't watch a lot of anime, but it worked for me.

    The game runs fine, I think, hitting a rock-solid 60 FPS (which is its cap) on my mid-range PC. That might not satisfy everyone but for a fun JRPG it worked for me.

    Perhaps the biggest problem with the game is its combat system, which is complicated to the point that you're still getting tutorials on it hours into the game. For all of that complexity, you can get by with button mashing in normal difficulty, I only had to use the slightest bit of strategy when fighting the optional (red icon) challenge monsters. And often they seemed poorly balanced, only challenging because they could deal crazy damage in a few shots randomly.

    The game also lacks good puzzles, there are a few but they are rare and only one was halfway stimulating to solve. There is also some rampant DLC, probably over $100 worth, including some pay-to-win stuff but also a lot of cosmetic items to buy. You can form your own opinion.

    In the end, it's hardly perfect... but it was plenty of fun to play.    … Expand

    Berseria is about what you always wanted the heroes to do to get out of a situation easily. Who cares about valiantly introducing yourself before a duel? Just attack!

Who cares about valiantly introducing yourself before a duel? Just attack! Need to get some fools off your trail? Let some worthless people become fodder for your assailants' blades. Velvet, the protagonist, will use any tool at her disposal.

    Battles are fierce and have an interesting ebb-and-flow. You expend and extract souls from your enemies, allowing you to extend your combo lengths. Anybody who appreciates brawler and fighting games will feel at home, even if you don't normally play RPGs. While it's not quite as fighter-style as Zestiria's combat, it's still engaging and requires you to pay attention. Playing on Hard from the get-go felt natural and enjoyable.

    If you didn't play the game before, Zestiria, you shouldn't be lost -- you'll miss out on some of the clever and/or harrowing realizations that come with having experienced Zestiria, but Berseria takes place a few hundred years prior. Strangely though, it does feel more like a sequel than a prequel. While chronologically this happened first, it's so connected that the pacing of the game's reveals is going to resonate more with Zestiria players than if you played them the other way around. Long story short, Zestiria showed you the most hopeful parts of this world's story. Berseria shows you its direst.

    One of my only complaints are that while the main characters and the villains have great voice acting, some NPCs sound idiotic. My other is that dungeons tend to be lack-luster and kinda overused. Overall, I'd recommend this to anybody who likes jRPGS -- this isn't a Tales game, it's just a good jRPG with apple gels.    … Expand

    What stood out for me was the character development and humor which were the best I've seen in a game, the battles were pretty fun and colourful, especially on the hardest difficulty, although did get a little repetitive.

    The great thing about this game is that its about so much more than destruction like most games, it's also telling a story with real meaning which gives the game heart and soul.

    When I saw the screenshots I nearly didn't try the game but I'm so glad I did because there's actually a hidden gem, the battle scenes actually run on my PC at 60 FPS at 4K with full anti aliasing and look amazing, as does all the artwork and the movies between battles. The soundtrack and effects are also excellent.

    Comparing this to something like the Witcher, this just wins hands down. The characters in that game are so lifeless and boring and that has to be the nearest competition. Compared to the Final Fantasy series the characterization felt similar, although I felt that this series seems more fluid and well tuned.

    Having a format that follows a set path is so much better than these choice RPG like Witcher, instead of creating an multitude of boring dialogues and outcomes they put time into making a decent story.

    I gave Witcher 7, this is a 9, we will see about FF15 when it comes to the PC.

    Deducted a point because the game system was a bit rushed, too much running around for pointless upgrade items and repeating the same fight when you try and beat a boss on intense difficulty and he kills your heroes in 2 hits so you just turn the difficulty down anyway.

    Also the puzzles aren't hard they are just time consuming, its like the whole focus was on the story and with the exception of the intense battles, the developer wasn't really interested in the world outside of the battles and cut scenes which I spent a fair amount of my 80 hours in.

    The AI in the battles was pretty good and worth mentioning, although was really stupid when when they got stuck on a loop repetitively stood there trying to heal themselves when they were just getting damaged and interrupted every time they tried to cast a spell and had no chance of succeeding.

    Also there's no way they should have killed Shigeru, he was the best.

    Anyway, if you have some time on your hands this is worth a run through.    … Expand

Una "plaga demoniaca" asota el mundo transformando a los seres vivos y objetos en terribles mounstros (un copsepto vastante parecido al de tales of zestiria pero este se desarrolla de una forma totalmente distinta) Seguimos la historia de venganza de velvet crowe, una joven de 19 años dispuesta a hacer desde lo incorrecto asta lo imposible para vengar a su hermano, laphicet. En su camino se encontrara con personajes de lo mas carismaticos y extraños cada uno de estos rivaliza con otro personaje del equipo antagonista. Estos personajes se le uniran a velvet por varios motivos ya sea porque tienen una deuda con ella o simplemente no tienen nada mejor que hacer, estos motivos rezatan todavia mas sus personalidades y aportan un tono mas maduro en siertos aspectos ya que no es el tipico grupo de amigos unidos para salvar el mundo.
    No es la tipica historia en blanco y negro de buenos contra malos. No. Esta historia esta llena de grices, habra momentos en que nos hara dudar de si somos los buenos ya que efectivamente no es tan simple, no todo lo que hacemos estara "bien" y no todo lo que hagan los antagonistas estara "mal". Esto le da un aspecto muy maduro a la historia.
    En resumen tenemos una muy buena historia que nos enganchara y unos grandes personajes.
    -Jugabilidad: Nos encotramos con una jugabiladad bastante parecida a la del anterior titulo (podemos hacer las mismas acciones como pasos rapidos, defensas, etc esepto por la armatizacion que fue removida) pero esta mejora en aspectos de fluides y personalizacion. Se pueden realizar las artes con cuatro botones cada boton tendra asignadas como maximo 4 artes(1ra, 2da, 3er y 4ta arte) estas artes se pueden combinar para formar nuestros propios combos dependiendo de las debilidades del enemigo. Ademas de todas las artes cada personaje tiene un "alma rompedora" que es un movimiento muy importante ya que cambia totalmente el rol del personaje y manera de utilizarlo. se simplifico bastante la forma de utilizar los objetos equipables( armas, armaduras, etc)
    y las habilidades que poseen ya qe en el anterior titulo era demaciado complicado y se podia hacer tedioso. Ahora se puede jugar a 60 fps cosa que en el anterior titulo no se podia.
    -Apartado artistico: Nos en contramos con un gran apartado artistico lo que mas resalta del apartado es el diseño de peronajes y enemigos pero tambien hay grandes diseños destinados a las ciudades , edificios y estructuras entre otros.

    En resumen un grandioso jrpg pero por su historia adulta y una cultura japonesa exaltante en gran parte del juego no todo el mundo lo puede apreciar como es devido    … Expand

    'Tales of Berseria' is a JRPG worthy of recommendation. It tells the opposition between the two values from a different perspective, and ensure the story performance without losing the gameplay.

    I love this game for its story, setting, and even the combat. The combat at first really did not sit right with me but after my full play-through I realized how much it actually grew on me.

    Die Tales-Spiele sind schon was besonderes, in diesem Stil bin ich in noch keinem Spiel rumgelaufen, war für mich auf jeden Fall etwas ganz Neues. Die Story wird sehr schön erzählt, aber es ist nicht immer zu 100% klar, wo genau man hin muss, mitlerweile kann ich die Karte sehr gut lesen. Größter Tipp EUW, spielt mit Controller!

Dann einfach mit X auf die Map und mit RB die Ebenen des Gebiets durchschalten aber auch hier gibt es zwei oder mehr, wo es keine Ansicht der einzelnen Ebenen gibt, da muss man echt hart suchen, das ist wohl auch ein großer Kritikpunkt an dem Spiel. Ich muss sagen, dass mir die Nebenquests irgendwie noch mehr Spaß gemacht haben, am Ende dann noch alle "!" also Sidequests zu erledigen wr echt cool, das sind alles so Chraktermissionen gewesen und die Unterhaltungen über Y sind auch einfach nur weltklasse! Das Item einsetzen finde ich nicht so gut gemacht aber ansonsten ein wirklich schönes Spiel. Auch wegen dem Kämpfen, nutzt einen Controller, auf der Tastatur: urgh.… Expand

    The 16th game in the Tales series is also the most adult. Who would have thunk it? [Issue#260, p.62]

    Tales of Berseria is too archaic in its game design and visuals to be a mass-appeal JPRG. Still, if you're looking to play a modern representative of this genre, keep in mind that you can easily find a better-looking game, but you won't have as much fun playing it as this one.

    In Tales of Berseria you can find every single thing which caused “traditional” JRPG to fall out of favor: world is almost empty, balance is non-existent and instead of truly intricate story we have a cheap, unbelievable drama. Sure, most of these can be explained away as a JRPG tradition – but that doesn’t mean we didn’t get tired of them. [Issue #217, p.76]
