Single-player RPG 7 Pillars puts you in control of CJ, a young man thrown into war against Ethos after her 500-year return to conquer the earth. Turn-based combat drives battles, including random encounters essential for gathering XP to level up and finding character-specific weapons. Exploration uncovers items like healing potions and revival stimulants needed to tackle higher-level bosses.
Choices shape your path through the story, leading to one ending via two distinct routes, with a key decision altering the final showdown against Ethos. Subtle oddities, such as walkable walls or vague details, build mystery revealed only after victory. First-time RPG players find it easy to grasp, while the focus on meaningful decisions draws veterans seeking impactful narratives.
Basics:
Single player RPG with turn based combat. Easy to pick up for first time RPG players. Accumulating enough XP will automatically level up your character. All you have to worry about from a customization standpoint is different weapons if you find them that are specific to each character. Higher level bosses will most likely require items (such as healing potions and revival stimulants), so exploration and random encounter battles are crucial for end game success.
Core feature:
CHOICES MATTER! One ending, but two different paths to get there.
Story:
You control a young man named CJ. Little is known about your history, but you are thrust right into a war with Ethos. She has returned after 500 years to establish her pillars and conquer the earth. It seems almost everyone is dead and it is up to you and your friends to stop her. You will have to make a handful of tough choices along the way and one in particular will affect how you face Ethos in the final battle. Things will appear off sometimes (e.g. some walls can be walked through, details may seem vague, etc.) and not until after defeating Ethos will you begin to understand what just happened...
