Tales of Zestiria

You play Sorey, the Shepherd, on a journey to confront Malevolence in a medieval fantasy world caught between two powerful nations. His companions include Seraphim, spiritual beings who are central to the conflict between humans and the unseen.

Travel with your party through broad regions, visiting towns, ruins, and dungeons as you take on story objectives, side quests, and battles. Conversations among the companions and discoveries along the way expand on the world and its lore.

Combat unfolds in real time in the surrounding environments. Chain attacks and artes, then merge with Seraphim allies to take on elemental forms and adapt to enemy weaknesses. Equipment provides stats and skills, and a fusion system lets you combine gear to shape your party's capabilities.

Reviews are divided on the story and combat, but players who enjoy the game often praise the party's chemistry and banter, the soundtrack, and the distinctive combat built around merging with Seraphim and switching elements. Some also value the setting, lore, and character-focused journey. Common complaints include confusing equipment fusion, combat that can feel clunky or repetitive, uneven story pacing, sparse areas, and PC performance limitations.
