Fantasian’s escape from Apple Arcade lockdown wouldn’t be unprecedented either. Slapstick comedy thingamajigWhat The Golf?, chill village management gameOutlanders, and Lego Brawls have all made their way over to other systems after their Apple Arcade exclusivity periods were done. And I’m crossing all fingers and toes that Fantasian makes the same jump.
Fantasian is a turn-based RPG thatharks backto the PSXFinal Fantasygames, all while throwing in some very smart contemporary twists for good measure. All the nostalgic bits and bobs are there, making anyone who grew up with those older games warm and fuzzy inside. Part of that charm comes from Fantasian’s dioramic world - built in real life and then scanned into the game - which captures the beauty of the detailed backgrounds from Final Fantasies VII through to IX. Legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu was back with some of his best musical moments, too, making the game an audiovisual feast despite its small screen limits.
I also enjoyed Fantasian’s combat from the little I played of it. To avoid the grind seen in similar RPGs, Fantasian lets you send randomly-encountered monsters into an alternate dimension so you could tackle waves of baddies all in one go. That’s great for procrastinators but the combat was so moreish, I usually saved up several interdimensional beasties to binge battles on purpose.
