Another Eden Begins, a reimagined version of the 2017 mobile game Another Eden, has been developed specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. Created by Wright Flyer Studios with support from new partner Studio Prisma, the game transforms the original into a traditional Japanese role-playing game (JRPG). The project is led by experienced developers, including Masato Kato, who has worked on iconic titles such as Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and Xenogears. The story follows Aldo, a young man from the village of Baruoki, whose life is turned upside down when his sister Feinne is kidnapped by the Beast King. Aldo's search for his sister leads him through a time portal to the futuristic city of Elzion, beginning a journey through time to uncover a mysterious force altering history. This narrative closely follows the first arc of the mobile version, expanding on the original rescue quest with interconnected stories across different eras. The game's turn-based combat system is one of its main strengths, featuring a chain skill system that allows for strategic combinations and an Another Force gauge for powerful attacks. Additional systems include talent trees, badges, and the Valor Change system for team substitution. Movement mechanics have been improved, allowing free 360-degree navigation in layered 2D environments. Despite these positives, the game faces some criticism. Exploration is seen as linear with limited secrets and repetitive dungeon design. Cutscenes cannot be skipped, only accelerated, which can be frustrating given the game's talkative nature. The soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda and his team is praised for its quality, with rearranged themes from the mobile version. The English dubbing is noted for its quality, but secondary quests lack this feature, while the Japanese version includes full dubbing. The visual design retains a 2D sprite style reminiscent of PlayStation-era JRPGs, with improved lighting and color palettes. However, the graphical quality is seen as more akin to a high-end mobile production than a next-gen console game. The main campaign is substantial, with optional content extending playtime to 40-60 hours. The New Game+ feature introduces multiple endings and additional narrative elements, enhancing replayability. However, the game is criticized for being too easy, with enemies offering minimal resistance and a lack of difficulty scaling. Healing items are unavailable during combat, requiring reliance on inns or camps for recovery. The game's strengths include a solid combat system, a large roster of characters, interesting bosses, and a beautiful art direction. Weaknesses include an uneven narrative pace, low difficulty, linear level design, lack of French localization, and a slow start. The game is recommended for fans of classic JRPGs, offering a worthwhile experience despite its shortcomings.
