Metaphor: ReFantazio Atlus 35th Digital Anniversary Edition

Metaphor: ReFantazio is Atlus's fantasy RPG from the Persona 5 team, and it runs an election as its plot. The king of Euchronia is assassinated and leaves a spell behind: the throne goes to whoever the people most support. You are a member of a despised tribe travelling the kingdom with a fairy and a talking book, trying to win a country that would rather you did not exist. Combat mixes a real-time field layer for weaker enemies with turn-based battles for anything serious, built on the Archetype system — job classes drawn from your party's own capacity for hope, swapped and inherited between characters to build the team you want. A calendar governs the rest: travel takes days, followers deepen if you spend time on them, and every day given to one thing is taken from another. The world design leans on Bosch and medieval marginalia rather than standard fantasy. Single-player only, with no online modes. The Atlus 35th Digital Anniversary Edition adds an artbook, the soundtrack, an Atlus history book and best-of soundtrack, and more than fifty costume and battle music sets drawn from Persona, Etrian Odyssey and other Atlus series.
