Imagine stepping into the shoes of a “Synth,” a near-miraculous creation that once lived as an experiment gone awry. This fascinating escapade begins when you break free from the elaborate lab hidden on a remote island. As you venture into the surrounding islands, you’ll encounter other Synths that are anything but welcoming. Successfully overcoming them in battle allows you to add these creatures to your roster, harnessing their unique skills for epic combats and the intricate exploration of the world around you.
When you engage in battles, your Synths earn experience that helps them level up. Each Synth can achieve up to five distinctive levels, each bringing unique benefits. The higher they climb, the tougher it gets to garner more experience. To keep your progress steady and uncover a wider range of abilities, it’s shrewd to rotate your Synth team regularly.
Take “Psitek” for instance. This Synth can ignite torches straightaway, and by the time it hits level three, it can obliterate incoming projectiles with its fiery slash—a crucial ability for navigating some dungeons. Most of its enhancements focus on boosting combat skills, so you might consider switching it out for another Synth with a more diverse range of abilities that require fewer experience points to unlock.
Early on, an abandoned boat once used by scientists becomes your ticket to adventure. The Genesis Archipelago is dotted with tiny islands full of hidden surprises such as extra hearts, stat-enhancing items, and currency that can be spent in various shops. If you’re not the type who enjoys exploring every nook and cranny, you might prefer to sail forward to the main islands and unveil the dubious plans of the scientists lurking there.
On the major islands, you’ll face formidable boss Synths, while the optional islands offer their own challenges. Capturing over 40 Synths scattered across the Genesis Archipelago is no walk in the park, but the treasures and rewards are plentiful for those eager to explore every hidden trail.
Prepare to uncover the Genesis Archipelago, free the Synth Beasts, and bring the scientists’ dark experiments to a halt! Get ready for Synth Beasts, hitting Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the Microsoft Store in 2025.
