Players follow Alphen, a masked amnesiac who cannot feel pain, and Shionne, a woman cursed to cause pain on contact. Over the journey they team up with a wider party and confront the Renan Lords in an effort to free Dahna.
Combat and Presentation
Tales of ARISE is framed as a JRPG built around a cast-driven narrative and a combat system designed to be approachable while delivering satisfying payoffs. The story unfolds across a richly realized world that underpins the campaign’s exploration and battles.
