The main character was floating as a spirit in a ruin that suddenly appeared from under the sea. There is no explanation as to why he became a mental body or what the protagonist must do, and as you explore the ruins, you get a vague picture of the situation.

    One of the highlights of this game is the system called Spirit Ride, which possesses the defeated opponent. Attack methods and durability differ depending on the possessed body, so the key to success is deciding which creature to possess as you continue your exploration. Furthermore, the items you can obtain will change depending on your actions, and the story development and ending will also change, so it is up to the player to decide how to proceed with their exploration within the ruins.

    Relics is a very clunky game by modern standards, but if you’re patient with it there’s definitely something here to enjoy. The combat is terrible but you should be trying to avoid getting in fights anyway. Exploring the game world and trying to solve the various mysteries you’ll come across are fairly compelling, and the visuals have a real vibe to them that I’m into. I really appreciate the pre-set save states in this game, because it gives curious players a way to experience various parts of the game without having to deal with the cumbersome controls. Not bad on the whole.
