Here’s the lowdown on Synth Beasts: Your mission is to wrangle fantastical monsters, level them up, and use their special skills to uncover hidden surprises. Get ready to dive into the vast open ocean, facing off against formidable bosses along the way.
In Synth Beasts, you find yourself in the shoes of a “Synth,” a botched experiment gone rogue, breaking free from the confines of a lab nestled on a mysterious island. As you navigate through the chain of islands surrounding you, you’ll bump into other Synths. Unlike yourself, these guys aren’t very welcoming. To bring them to your side, you need to show them who’s boss in combat. Once you’ve triumphed, you’ll unlock these Synths as playable allies, each one bringing its unique abilities to both your battles and exploration efforts.
Whenever your Synths engage in combat, they earn experience points, which lets them level up. Each Synth has five levels to conquer, each offering unique bonuses that distinguish them. But it’s not smooth sailing all the way; leveling up gets tougher as your Synth advances, so it’s wise to rotate your squad to tap into their full potential and unlock even more cool abilities.
Take “Psitek,” one of the Synths, for instance. Right from the start, it can light torches, a handy skill in itself. By the time it hits level three, it gets a nifty fire slash move, capable of destroying projectiles—an essential tool in certain challenging dungeons. However, most of Psitek’s leveling perks tend to beef up its combat skills. So, it might be smart to switch to another Synth if you’re looking at unlocking new tricks without the hefty experience point grind.
Early on, you’ll lay hands on a boat previously belonging to the scientists, and it’s all yours to command! The Genesis Archipelago is a goldmine of small islands waiting to be explored. Hidden away are bonuses like extra hearts, items to boost stats, and currency to spend in various shops. If delving into every nook and cranny isn’t your style, no worries—you can make a beeline for the main islands to put a stop to the scientists’ shady schemes directly.
The main islands are your battlegrounds for facing off against boss Synths, but many optional islands could also harbor them. Capturing over 40 Synths is no easy task, yet every corner of the Genesis Archipelago promises valuable rewards to intrepid explorers!
Ready to embark on this epic journey? Explore the Genesis Archipelago, rescue the Synth Beasts, and put a stop to the scientists’ malevolent experiments once and for all! Expect Synth Beasts to make waves in 2025 when it arrives on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the Microsoft Store.
