Last Guardian: Jūkyō no Shugosha

## Description

_Last Guardian: J ūkyō no Shugosha_ is set in a fantasy world ruled by gods
and inhabited by many different races. Many years ago, two of the gods fought
each other, until the god Gaduros emerged victorious, imposing a harsh rule
over the nation of the winged Beasts. But the beautiful goddess Typhon
defeated Gaduros. It looked like the age of peace finally began. But when the
Beasts discovered an ancient disc-like artifact, everything went wrong again.
A warrior from the nation of Centaurs and a mysterious religious cult suddenly
became very interested in the artifact, making it clear to the Beasts that
they will have to fight for their lives. And so three of them – two young
friends, Rezak and Maxen, and their older comrade Badio – started a dangerous
journey across the world, to find out what their enemies’ intentions truly
are…

The game is a mixture of RPG and strategy. As in most RPGs, the player
controls a party of characters (up to 7), who gain experience points from
fighting enemies and level up. However, there is no exploration of any kind
and no movement outside of the battle field in the game. The game consists of
long strategic battles and cut scenes, most of which are presented as still
anime-style shots that advance the story. The turn-based battles allow free
movement on the battle field. Each action (movement, physical attack, spell,
etc.) requires a certain amount of action points. Beside the usual attacks,
some player-controlled characters can transform into various types of beasts.
While in “beast mode”, the character gains access to new abilities, but might
lose some of those he/she had while in human-like form.
