While some of the gestures used for magic aren't always recognized, for the most part, the technical controls work well. The magic system thus evolves in a sensible fashion. Salamander, a fire spirit, grants you the ability to cast fire spells. Fairy, for example, can be called into battle to defend you, or to attack enemies, but you'll have to build up enough "Sync" before doing so. Make no mistake Hybrid is not a casual game.Ĭharacters join your party as you progress through the game, but in a way that makes much more sense than just throwing in extra characters. Everything is about well-timed combos: switching your grip in mid-attack, combining magic with sword thrusts to unlock more special abilities, and so on. There's an easily mashable attack button on the right side of the screen, as well as a button for changing your sword grip. Gameplay takes place on a two-dimensional field, and you can move left, right, forward, and back using the virtual D-pad, which works well enough. Unfortunately, skipping the dialogue means you sometimes miss crucial instructions.Ĭombat is much more interesting than the endless dialogue. The story might have been interesting if the player wasn't inundated with so much information. The long version includes a mish-mash of way too many bizarre concepts: parallel worlds, spirits, ghosts, hybrids, fairies, magic, mana, force power.every scene, it seems, we learn about a new thing. Needless to say, it quickly becomes apparent that you've got to dig your fellow inhabitants out of this mess by ruthlessly murdering every monster you come across. Your character, "Grey," lives in a world called Platina, which is under attack by dark spirits. Hybrid's combat makes it all worth it, but I really recommend hitting the "skip" button. I'm an avid reader and a fan of lengthy RPGs.but there is such a thing as too many blocks of text, especially when the story spends more time introducing new concepts than exploring existing, interesting ones. However, the storyline is another story entirely.
The combat is there, and it's just as complex, fun, and stunning as I'd expected. Hybrid just hit the App Store a few days ago. A combat-oriented adventure with a complex fantasy storyline? Count me in! Hybrid: Eternal Whisper has been in production for quite some time, and the teaser trailers had me salivating. After playing Gamevil's fabulous Zenonia, I found myself waiting with bated breath, wondering what epic RPG they would port next.
