Topic: Ever Oasis (3DS)

I thought this screamed multiplayer but the e3 page only says 1 player. I'm actually more interested in it now knowing it's built around a single-player experience. I was afraid switching between party characters was the single player workaround for a multiplayer game (like Tri Force Heroes, which I haven't bought).

I'm glad to have learned that.

Considering it's got the same director as Secret of Mana, it probably is! Now it just means you can't use Humans to replace the ******* ******** AI characters who will constantly get stuck on every ledge and run face first into the strongest enemies in the room while using the wrong spells/equipment!

Or it could just mean that even Nintendo knows as much about this game as we do, and the lack of any multiplayer referenced could be a blatant mistake that will be corrected in a few months. Who knows?

Ever since the reveal, I've been thinking about another game called Beyond Oasis.....

For those who don't know, its a SEGA Genesis game made by Ancient. You can know about it here

Anyway back on topic.....since this game is called ever oasis, I wonder if the devs at Grezzo have liked the game Beyond Oasis as they both have similar things. Siblings being kidnapped so you have to rescue them, world taken in desert lands and the magic guardians and what not.

Only difference here is the gameplay and the art design....

^I've noted the same thing as well. It definitely feels like they're making a few references here and there, at least.

PSP and Vita? Those have been the consoles to own for RPGs over the last 10+ years (in the west anyways).

This game looks ok. The combat looks a bit too much like Monster Hunter for my liking, but if it turns out NOT to be like Monster Hunter, then colour me intrigued.

Well, it's nothing like Monster Hunter. Like, not even remotely close. There are big monsters, yes. And yes, you can hunt them using various weapons. They might drop important things you will need later, in fact.

Those statements are also true in the vast majority of action-RPGs since 1992. There's a lot more to Monster Hunter's combat than that, though - much of it dealing with the way movement is handled in order to make fights both challenging and visceral. As well as epic, of course.

You don't have anything to worry about. I think the others here hit it on the nose when they compared it to Fantasy Life, considering it seems to use a lot of similar mechanics, as well as the general flow of combat...in fact, didn't 1-up Studios co-develop Fantasy Life with Level 5? And they worked on several Mana games, including Sword of Mana, back when they were Brownie-Brown. And don't forget the Magical Vacation franchise. Really, it can't be a coincidence. While I won't go as far as calling it a sequel, considering what Fantasy Life 2 is turning into, they probably had to do something with all those assets...

@Tops I hope it's not single-player only. The game looks cute, but I'm mostly interested in it as a multiplayer experience. No multiplayer is honestly a deal-breaker for me with regard to this title.

@Ralizah I prefer single-player games but of course I wouldn't be against the inclusion of a multiplayer mode. I'm just surprised by no hints of multiplayer in a game that seems suited to it.

@Tops 95% of the time I only care about a game's single-player content and couldn't give a toss if it has multiplayer or not, but there are a few games that I get primarily because they look like they'll be fun to play with my family or friends. Fantasy Life was one of those games, and, even though it was a fine single-player experience, it was the ability to go out and adventure with others that pushed it over the edge for me.

It doesn't look like a bad single-player game, mind you, but I can think of at least thirty other single-player games I'd want to play before even considering this one.

Ever Oasis releases on June 23.

I was intrigued by the game at first, but now I'm actually interested. It looks lovely.

All my attention has gone to the Switch as of late. Sadly I don't see myself playing my 3ds for quite some time. While I did want this last E3 now it has to be something really special to get my attention.

I think it looks great, but I likely won't get it until I get my 3ds modded with a tv out. Thanks Switch.

This is another one of my highly anticipated games for this year. Between 3DS and Vita there are so many good RPGs coming out this year that it will take me years to play through them all.

I'll buy it--it'll be one of the last hurrahs for me and my dear, dear 3DS*.

A motorcycle dung beetle haha that's kinda cool

I'm guessing the top 3 are males that grow horns on their heads while the bottom 3 are the females. I love the Jack-o-lantern clothing designs and that Triforce.

Amazon is still listing it as 'unavailable'. They have been screwing up listings for 3ds games recently.

This would be soo cool. Please make it happen!

@daggdroppen the heck are you talking about?

@Tsurii Make it happen! Don't you understand?

I have my copy preordered through Amazon.ca
