![]() ![]() Some of them are also quite derivative the nightstalker Servan looked exactly like the black beasts from my recently playthrough of Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale. And while the Servan/fiend designs are full of personality, there aren’t that many of them and they get used over and over with different color swaps. It’s a shame since sometimes you can see a hint of creativity such as the art museum with the oversized exhibits. Most of the time you’re running through similar looking deserted streets. Nothing like coming home to your hotel and having enough points to level up the time you can stay transformed as a bunny.Įxamples of practical outfits for our heroes.Ĭompared to the great character models, the environment designs pale are drab. ![]() I found the subtle strategy of trying to maximize my stamina stat while going off to fight fiends quite enjoyable. While they skip over Arnice’s daytime activities, you’re given entertaining text descriptions of her going horseback riding or helping someone train their dog. They’re either kill x number of creature or go to x on a certain stage. While it sounds like the daytime quests are the boring ones, it’s actually the night ones that are uninteresting. Your time is split into night and day night is when you fight fiends and advance the main plot and day is when you select from a number of pedestrian tasks to build up four different stats (spirit, finesse, stamina, charm). Here you can buy equipment for Arnice and Servans, save, talk to the few characters that inhabit this world, and take on side quests. There is a hub for Nights of Azure located at the Ende Hotel. It unfortunately took me a while to figure out how all of it worked but it was worth it when I finally got access to her incredibly useful and cute Rabbit form. And while certain combinations of these 4 creatures are important for strategic purposes, they also have an affect on what Arnice will turn into when her transformation gauge fills up. Summoning new Servans costs MP which means there’s a delicate balance of unleashing all your spells while holding back to replace any helpers who have been knocked unconscious. Battles slowly get incredibly complex as you can switch between 4 different decks of helpers on the fly. You don’t control the Servans directly but you do have the option of triggering their burst attacks at any point for a certain amount of MP. ![]() You can have up to 4 of these critters helping you at a time and they cover functions like healing, boosting your stats, digging for treasure, and providing additional attack support. Nights of Azure allows you to collect demons and turn them into Servans. Luckily for Arnice she has support for taking on the wave after wave of fiends. And later in the game her sword gains the ability to transform into other weapons on the fly I had a lot of fun chaining together huge blade swipes into a fury of dagger slashes and closing it off with a powerful blast from my ‘blitz shooter’. She can chain light, heavy and special attacks for stylish combos. Arnice is equipped with the sword of Jorth, a blade imbued with demonic powers. It’s not surprising that a half-demon knight has a ton of tools for taking on the creatures of the night. It’s your job to cut through the legions of fiends and reach the Nightlord yourself in order to stop him and the darkness once and for all. Arnice, however, is fiercely protective of her priest and stubbornly refuses to make the ultimate sacrifice that the shadowy Curia insist upon to stop the Eternal Night. Her closest friend and appointed priest is Lilysse, a timid girl who slowly comes to accept her destiny in stopping the Nightlord. It’s not surprising that the relationship between a knight and a priest is a very intimate one.Īrnice is an agent of the Curia that has been granted the opportunity to kill fiends even though she is half-demon. Accompanying these ordained knights are priests for support they heal injured agents and are able to purify the demon’s blood. The holy order known as the Curia employ a roster of agents to fight the hordes of fiends born from the Nightlord’s blood. ![]() The return of the once banished demon leader Nightlord means that all of humanity will fall into a deadly sleep. In Nights of Azure the world is in danger of being swallowed up by an eternal night. An example of the unique relationship between the two leads. ![]()
