Product Overview

Xenoblade Chronicles is the incredibly innovative role playing game made exclusively for the Wii console, brought to you by Monolith Soft. This game can give you over sixty hours of intriguing, science fiction and fantasy combined gameplay and an intricate and well developed storyline that will completely immerse the player. Step into the shoes of our protagonist, and bring an end to the terror that is sweeping through his homeland with an ancient weapon of untold power.

Eons ago, the two titans Bionis and Mechonis fought a legendary battle that culminated in the demise of each. Their bodies formed homes for two very different civilisations; peaceful humans on Bionis, and blood thirsty mechanical robot creatures (Mechons) on Mechonis, bringing forth a never ending conflict between man and machine. You will play as Shulk, an orphan who is the only one capable of saving the world, and who is now the wielder of the Monado. The Monado is an ancient sword said to be a gift from the titan Bionis itself which gives the wielder great power, such as visions of the future, and has the ability to slice through Mechon armour with ease. The Monado gave Shulk a premonition of an imminent Mechon invasion, and now you must win the war between humans and robots, and repel their invasions as you unravel the legend behind the Monado. Enjoy and explore this textured storyline with cinematic cut scenes and conversations, shedding light upon the life and history of the two titans' battle and everything that has come as consequence.

This vast, visually and graphically gorgeous universe is set as an open world, meaning that whatever can be seen in the distance of these landscapes is reachable. Xenoblade Chronicles aids you in this enormous world by providing the fast travel ability, meaning you can quickly reach a place you have already visited. Exploring this incredible world with your party is half the fun as the game is non-linear, meaning you can wander from the main storyline at any given time and find many side quests, monsters to kill, and caves to loot. There is also a vast amount of extras to discover and enjoy, including gem crafting, myriad collectibles, skill trees to grow through, and so much more.

This role playing game boasts impressive combat that is fast paced and action oriented, with a system that is engineered for both real time and command based battling. You can select your attacks through a command gauge, improving your strategies and possessing the ability to unleash special attacks called Arts that will decimate your opponent. An innovative addition to combat is the use of the Monado sword, which lets you see a devastating attack before it happens; this enables you to warn your team mates, put up a magical shield, move them out of harms way, or even incapacitate the enemy before it has the chance to perform said attack. These visions allow you to completely change the future and keep fighting, and achieve victory each and every time. Xenoblade Chronicles introduces both innovative combat, a compelling storyline, and so much more, guaranteeing enjoyment and an exhilarating experience from every angle. (Cat Emerson)
