XENOSAGA EPISODE I 1 - DER WILLE ZUR MACHT (PLAYSTATION 2 PS2)

Xenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears. The combat system is not unlike that used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat, the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are displayed on screen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who acts next. A rolling slot also moves each turn, granting a bonus such as extra damage or bonus XP for any action that turn. If the enemy is able to gain an advantage, the player can spend a character's boost gauge to intervene and act next, although enemies can also boost, and enemy boosts always outweigh character boosts. player.
