Calibretto can launch a mortar from his cannon to set enemies on fire prior to the battle, while other effects include stunning or damaging enemies right away. The characters also have dungeon abilities, which let us affect battles before they begin. They carry over between battles, too, so that our build-up time never feels wasted. The game’s Burst battle abilities are also in now, which allow for attacks to charge up over time, increasing in power depending on what level they get to. It’s a little overpowered for the spider monster we were facing, but that’s fine. He can also summon eldritch horrors to take down enemies, and we do so with a giant tentacle.

Filling out my bestiary? Fishing is easy - just push the thumbstick in the opposite direction of where the fish is heading - but who cares it’s oddly addicting. In fact, more than half of my demo involved hearing “hey, let’s move on to the dungeon” over and over again. ![]() I *could* have been battling werewolves in a dwarven dungeon, and I *could* have been advancing the plot, but I chose to do my best at taking down the latest lunker. The latest build of Battle Chasers (debuting last week at E3) introduces a fan-requested minigame focused on breaking away from the game’s main quest to do a little rest and relaxation with a trusty rod next to a pool of water. ![]()
