A young astronomer trapped on an island, Nayuta is convinced that the world does not stop at the ocean that borders its shores. The universe proves him right when magical ruins rain down on the boy’s home in a shower of stars, opening the doors to mysterious parallel worlds that lead him on the adventure of his life. Action-RPG, therefore, The Legend of Nayuta pulls out of the game by playing with the seasons: Nayuta can manipulate them as he pleases to solve puzzles and fight against the monsters that await him. An original mechanic that greatly influences the environments and gives a certain visual cachet.
Not brand new, but all beautiful
Announced on the occasion of Falcom’s 40th anniversary, this English translation was particularly awaited by fans of the saga. I specify “English speaking”, because alas, it will be necessary to ignore a VF. Despite this pitfall, The Legend of Nayuta remains a solid remaster, with HD textures, 60 FPS on the clock and a complete reorchestration of the soundtrack. A plethora of new illustrations embellish the adventure. What to discover this opus in conditions (almost).
The Legend of Nayuta will be distributed by Plaion on PS4 and Switch, while NISA takes care of the PC version. Simultaneous release this fall. Regardless of the platform, you can also check the official website.
