Expanded Description
The development team behind Dragon Quest, Dark Cloud, and Professor Layton joins forces with the renowned Japanese animators at Studio Ghibli to produce Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, a classically styled RPG designed to look like an animated movie. Players take on the role of Oliver, a young boy who heads off to a parallel world in the hopes of reviving his dead mother. A companion named Drippy guides Oliver through this new world, where a special book gives him magical powers, and he can recruit a variety of characters and creatures to join him in battles.
In Wrath of the White Witch players explore an expansive overworld map, uncovering secret locations, visiting various towns, palaces, and dungeons, and engaging in combat. The battle system combines elements of real-time and turn-based action, with combatants taking turns dishing out attacks, healing their party, and casting magic spells, but doing it while freely moving about the battleground and switching characters at will. All of the characters and creatures can be named, earn experience points, and learn new skills, and gamers can take control of them directly, or just set their tendencies and let the computer handle both sides of the conflict.
