    Featuring time travel, a narrative structure influenced by Mana, and the combat and exploration characteristic of Zelda, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales demonstrates that the HD-2D style still has a lot of life left in it, including in other genres, and that it has matured significantly in recent games. After years of refining the formula in smaller-scale games, Square Enix seems to have finally found a Zelda to call its own.

    The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is proof that Team Asano can move with surprising confidence even outside its comfort zone. Exploration is excellent, the game world constantly inspires a sense of wonder, and the system built around different time periods adds depth to every discovery.

    The Adventures of Elliot promises an adventure and delivers just that. It’s not groundbreaking in its story, but it offers an absolute wealth of content. A kingdom-saving quest proves a solid excuse to get players exploring a massive world across multiple eras, navigating puzzles and dungeons, and fighting battles with a bevy of weapons and abilities to employ. It’s a fantastic action RPG for veterans and newcomers alike.

    Team Asano steps into new territory with an action RPG that blends elements of classic Zelda titles and the Mana series. The result is a confident and enjoyable adventure that showcases the studio's versatility. While the team is best known for its turn based RPGs, this project proves that it can successfully tackle a different genre without losing the level of quality fans have come to expect.

    The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales proves HD-2D works brilliantly as the foundation for an action-adventure game. Its engaging combat, rewarding exploration, clever customization systems, and gorgeous visual presentation combine to create one of Square Enix’s strongest action-adventure games in recent years. The story may be predictable, and the enemy variety is rather lacking, but neither issue detracts from an experience that consistently rewards exploration. The Adventures of Elliot shows the HD-2D formula can thrive well beyond the realm of turn-based RPGs. If this is where the style is headed next, the future looks incredibly promising.

    The story may make its mark in the end, but when the destination is more fascinating than the journey, is that really and adventure? [Issue#426, p.114]
