Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World - Nintendo Wii - DE

Following the events of the original Tales of Symphonia, when Lloyd Irving and his friends united the twin worlds of Tethe'alla and Sylvarant, chaos erupted due to the differences between the two planets. The climate of the new world changed dramatically, lakes became dry valleys and deserts turned into frozen wastelands, and the technological disparity between Sylvarant and Tethe'alla led to a bloody conflict of global magnitude. Players take control of Emil Castagnier, a boy from the city of Palmacosta, who witnessed his parents being killed by Lloyd, the hero of the original adventure, in a battle that would later become known as the "Blood Purge". He embarks on a quest for revenge and meets Marta Lualdi, a girl being hunted by Sylvarant forces and the mysterious Judge Abend, whom he swears to protect from harm. The game is controlled with the Wii Remote in combination with the Nunchuk controller, and the gameplay is divided into two parts: exploration of the overworld and battles. In the first part, players can interact with non-player characters and the environment or come into conflict with enemies, which activates battle mode. Battles take place in real-time; the player controls one of up to four party members in combat, whilst the others are controlled by the game's AI or other players. New to the series is the inclusion of more than 200 different monsters that can be captured to fight alongside other characters in battles.
