Locked away on a prison island with nothing but demons to feed upon after a traumatic event, the newly transformed part demon, Velvet becomes so filled with rage and hatred that she but a shell of the girl you see in the beginning hour of Berseria. You see the world of the Holy Midgand Empire has been beset upon by a disease called Daemonblight that transforms people into monsters that exist without a sense of rationality. This story follows the series’ first solo heroine Velvet Crowe, a girl once happy despite worrying about her little brother, before her life is railroaded by betrayal and deceit. Tales of Berseria is a very different entry into what has been a fairly lighthearted series up until this point. While this wasn’t my first exposure to the beloved franchise it did start my own journey that has led me these past 10 years to be able to review Tales of Berseria for the PC today. For me, my first entry in the world of reviewing games was for Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology which I heavily enjoyed. When it comes to the video game industry there have been many firsts. These are moments that we hold onto and remember.
Not only is it a form of “pay-to-win” DLC that further trivialises an already-easy game, but it’s also entirely unnecessary given that Tales of Berseria barely requires the player to grind for levels in the first place.There is always something to be said about first times and journeys in life. This isn’t the case, and while I won’t dictate what people should or shouldn’t do with their finances, I’d advise against buying this sort of content. In this respect, I can’t help but come to the conclusion that Bandai Namco’s decision to offer level-boosting DLC is a poor one, as it may give off the impression that the game will do everything in its power to goad players into buying into what can only be described as a pay-to-win scheme. Of course, this does change once you bump the difficulty to a higher setting - where enemies will be of a significantly higher level, and where healing is less effective - but anyone who intends to play the game on its Normal mode will likely never feel as if Tales of Berseria‘s challenges are insurmountable. By simply downing almost all the enemies that I came across, I never once found myself in a situation where I felt outmatched by any of the challenges that the game threw at me.
Never once did I feel as if the game required that I linger in an area for too long just so I can grind for experience points or equipment. The game’s difficulty, too, is relatively consistent.
