Get ready for an HD-2D adventure that’s unlike any developer Team Asano made before, putting you in control of the titular Elliot in a fast-paced adventure that combines thrilling real-time action and rewarding exploration.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is an action RPG set in the world of Philabieldia - a beautiful but savage land dominated by warring beast tribes. Humanity’s last bastion is the Kingdom of Huther, protected by its tall walls and Princess Heuria’s powerful magic.

When a mysterious set of ruins is discovered, a young adventurer named Elliot and his fairy companion Faie are sent off on a journey to investigate. What seems like a simple, if dangerous, mission soon becomes a grand saga that will be woven across time and space.

As Elliot, you’ll explore an expansive world, from grassy plains to dank caves and mysterious ruins. Hordes of enemies roam these lands, but fortunately Elliot is well-equipped to deal with them. He can wield seven types of weapons, from swords for close quarters combat, bows for ranged attacks and even chains and sickles that can pull enemies towards him.

These weapons can be customized with magicite to increase their utility further. Some magicite has simple stat boosts - such as increasing attack damage - while others have effects that change their very function. A personal favorite is the Linked Arrows magicite which adds an extra hit to foes around your target when you use your bow.

A Story of Four Ages across a Thousand Years

To lift the curse on Princess Heuriaof Huther, Elliot and Faie will cross through the Doorway of Time to visit different periods in history.

They will travel from their own time, the Age of Safekeeping, further and further into the past. Across every age, a terrible threat looms over Elliot and Faie’s adventure.

1. Age of Safekeeping - The Present
2. Age of Reconstruction - The Dark Ages
3. Age of Magic - A Golden Age
4. Age of Budding - The Birth of Civilization

Age of Budding

The Age of Budding is the period furthest back in time in Elliot and Faie’s adventure. Here, at the dawn of civilization, humans use weapons of their own making to keep the beast tribes at bay.

Within the precarious balance of humans and beasts exists a tribe called the Myūthat can speak the human language and use powerful magic. Does their power represent a new hope or a new threat? In it, humanity faces the greatest turning point in the history of Philabieldia.

Characters

Kai (voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya / Brandon McInnis)

The chief of Hitoyori, the earliest human settlement.

As the village’s young leader, he is most concerned with the beast tribe threat and feels he must protect the village at all costs.

To Kai, the Myūare nothing more than another beast tribe, and their magic a threat to the village’s safety.

Hirk (voiced by: Yukana/ Nadia Marshall)

A woman of Hitoyoriwho has spent years studying magic, but has yet to be able to put it to practical use.

She believes magic is the key to Hitoyori’sfuture—a means by which the village’s children might live to see adulthood—and she seeks to establish relations with the Myūin order to learn from them.

Lyudmila (voiced by: Mamiko Noto / Allegra Clark)

A woman of the Myūwho lives in the snow field away from Hitoyori.

Through a certain course of events, she comes to teach magic to the humans. She possesses a strength of will that never gives in, never losing hope even in the face of the cruelest circumstances.

System: Faie’s Magic

Scattered around Philabieldiaare structures known as Shrines of the Mystic wherein Faie can learn new magic powers. Elliot will inevitably encounter obstacles impassable without certain magical assistance, so any shrines found are worth a visit.

Wrap Faie in Flames with Ignite: Light torches, melt ice, detonate explosives—fire magic is indispensable for its myriad of uses. Beastmenbombs can be made to go off prematurely with ignite.

Draw in Surrounding Enemies and Objects with Vacuum: Items and loot dropped by enemies can be vacuumed right up. Enemies caught in Faie’s vortex can be attacked or simply deposited off the side of a nearby ledge.

Mimic Elliot with Copy: Turn Faie into a copy of Elliot and mirror his every move, perfect for problem solving: Faie can even press switches as Elliot. Not just swords and spears, but bombs and anything else Elliot might throw is copied, so seek out magicitethat complements your attacks.

System: Combining Attacks and Magic for Expanded Strategies

Elliot’s attacks and Faie’s magic can be combined for synergistic effects and more effective fighting power. Experiment with magicitecombinations, too, which play a crucial role.

Ripe bomb magiciteincreases explosive damage but delays detonation. With ignite, however, Faie can detonate the enhanced bombs at a touch.

Extra throw magiciteadds a second boomerang to Elliot’s attacks, and Faie can copy that for a total of four boomerangs flying about.

Demo Play Guide: Elliot’s Actions

As Elliot, the player will freely adventure over the expansive continent of Philabieldia. Various weapons found along the way may be used interchangeably to do battle with beastmenand explore caves and ruins.

Swords: Swords may be swung quickly to attack in a wide range, making them easy to use. Charge up their special attack to send slashes flying!

Shields: Be aware that shields can only defend against frontal attacks, and not those to the back or sides.

Boomerangs: A boomerang is dangerous during its entire flight, so a skillful throw can knock enemies on both the departure and the return.

Bows: A bow’s regular attack fires one arrow per shot, but its special attack fires multiple arrows out in a fan at the cost of a single arrow.

Spears: Spears are good for doling out repeated attacks directly ahead and out of the enemy’s melee range. Their special attack is a forward charge.

Bombs: Bombs explode a short time after they’re set, and their explosions pack a punch. They can also be used to demolish certain rocks and cracked walls.

Demo Play Guide: Magicite

Various pieces of magiciteyou find can be equipped as a set that confers their combined effects to Elliot’s weapons. Find the combinations that suit your playstyle and give you the advantage in battle.

Magiciteis formed at a shop in town from magicitefragments. You won’t know what magiciteyou’ll get until it’s formed. Each piece of magicitehas a fixed cost to equip, and you can equip as much as will fit within the total cost available. Experiment and find good magicitecombinations.
