I Am Setsuna is a Japanese role playing game developed by Tokyo RPG Factory. The game is published by Square Enix for PS4, PS Vita and PC Windows in July, 2016 and was released for Nintendo Switch on March 3, 2017. The game is set in a land gripped by continuous cold winter and the game story is about a young woman of incredible inner strength named Setsuna who must offer herself as an offering at a temple to appease creatures in order to save the lives of the people on the island. It is said to keep peace, once a decade an offering was given to a creature on the isle. However, the creature became aggressive once again before the next offering is due and demands another offering. Setsuna is specially chosen because of her enchantment powers. The gameplay, reminds us the role playing video games of the 90s, uses an Active Time combat system based on those used in beginning episodes of Final Fantasy video games.  

I Am Setsuna Gameplay: 

I Am Setsuna is a role playing game in which gamers take control of hero characters. Sites such as towns and dungeons are reached by navigating the way through the game world. In towns, the hero characters can speak with villagers to know about the game plot, and can find chests full of valuable stuff. Items such as curing potions can be purchased from stores in towns and elsewhere. Opponents are represented by icons and contact with the icons starts a combat. Combats take place in the environments where the opponent is faced rather than moving combat to a specific combat arena. Playable characters' health and magic meter are correspondingly shown by HP and MP. The most unique feature of the game is the Active Time Combat System that is also used in the Final Fantasy series: after each action is taken by the player in combat, an ATB gauge must fill again before any further action is taken. Available actions include attacking with weapons; using special combat abilities or magic, which are lumped together as "Techs"; or using an object. If more than one players ATB gauges are full, they will perform actions in the order in which instructions are given to them. Every gamer can equip “Sprinite” crystals on their gear equipment. These crystals offer both passive bonuses and the skills on the Techs menu. Few Techs can merge in to a new strike; for example, the spinning “Cyclone” and speeding up “Charge” techs can turn into “X Hit” a 2 people strike aimed at a single rival. If “Double Techs” are accessible, then “Techs” menu changes to “Combo”.  Each time an action is taken, or a character's ATB gauge is allowed to stay full, a separate “Setsuna” gauge starts to fill. When it is full, it gives a “Momentum” blow which can be expended at the player’s discretion to offer power boosts to the player’s actions. These boosts can include dealing multiple versions of the attack hits, recovering health or providing major damage to an enemy.

I Am Setsuna Story:

The game is set in an everlasting winter’s land, which is frequently overwhelmed by dark forces. According to a very old tradition, a girl is offered to satisfy the dark forces. Too soon the dark forces become hungry once again, and the maiden named Setsuna is selected as an offering. Game also features a mercenary named Endir, an ex-explorer named Aeterna, and a cheerful expert fighter named Nidr. Setsuna starts her expedition to the ceremony location where she will be offered to please the enemies. Setsuna is a young lady of immense internal power and is ready to offer herself to please the enemies and save her people on the island.  So Setsuna starts her departure with companions who will take her to an island.

The Verdict:

Personally in my view games set in unending winter are always special as those cold places are very relaxing and feels good to the eyes. Everything about the game is special, let’s consider the game’s length that is 25 hours is very reasonable not too short and not too long, the game combat system is good and very unique as those gauge once full has an immense impact, music/soundtrack is awesome and let’s not forget the characters. Most interesting for me personally is the sound track and its entirely piano tempos for different situations, sound track while exploring the game world or sound track in a fight have different music. Players of Final Fantasy will definitely like this Japanese RPG as it has got some really superior graphics and that is something always found in Japanese games.
