Imagine stepping into the world of Synth Beasts where you play as a “Synth,” a product of a failed experiment, who manages to escape a lab nestled on a mysterious island. As you venture through the neighboring archipelago, you come across other Synth beings. These encounters aren’t exactly friendly, forcing you to defeat them in battles. Once you emerge victorious, these defeated Synths become playable characters, opening up new abilities that are crucial for both battling foes and exploring the vast world around you.
In Synth Beasts, leveling up is the name of the game. Using your Synths in combat not only lets them gain essential experience points but also allows them to evolve, adding layers of unique bonuses with each of the five progression levels they achieve. Keep in mind that leveling up doesn’t get any easier as you go! So, rotating your team strategically is key to unlocking all the unique abilities and maximizing their potential.
Take, for example, the “Psitek” Synth. Right from the get-go, it can light torches, but as it hits level three, it gains the skill to destroy projectiles with a fierce fire slash—quite handy in certain dungeon scenarios! Though beyond this level, its upgrades lean heavily toward enhancing combat prowess. Because of this combat-centric progression, it might be wise to alternate with other Synths to diversify your skill set without putting in more grinding effort for experience points.
Shortly into the journey, you gain control of a boat previously owned by the scientists. This vessel opens up the Genesis Archipelago, a sprawling realm peppered with small islands. These islands are a treasure trove of bonuses, offering everything from extra hearts and stat-boosting items to currency for use in various shops. If scouring every inch of the map isn’t quite your style, you can skip ahead to the main islands where you’re set to clash with the scientists and bring their questionable operations to a halt.
On these main islands, you’ll often find yourself squaring off against boss Synths, but don’t overlook the optional islands—they’re teeming with challenge and rewards, housing over 40 Synths ready to be captured. Navigating through the many corners of the Genesis Archipelago promises rich rewards and thrilling encounters at every turn.
Dive deep into the world of Synth Beasts, liberate these intriguing creatures, and bring an end to the sinister experiments orchestrated by the scientists. Get ready to embark on this exciting adventure as Synth Beasts sets sail in 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the Microsoft Store.
