If you find yourself struggling to survive in Batora: Lost Haven then there’s a real chance you will need to reconfigure your runes. Apart from replenishing your health or looting chests, there’s nothing else to be gained here. It’s mostly A to B stuff, with few reasons to scour every nook and cranny. I must say, it would be more satisfying to feel as if you were earning these new skills rather than sporadically unlocking them, however this straightforward method matches the linear environments and progression in the game. Whether it’s a whirlwind which sucks those in near it, or a frenzied spinning attack, Batora: Lost Haven gradually expands Avril’s catalogue of abilities which are a lot of fun to execute. It’s also advised to keep an eye on the damage you take, that being mental or physical. You’ll need to match your state to that of the enemies you are facing, otherwise you’ll find them very difficult to take down. The latter state equips Avril with an impressive orange yellow sword, which can duff up even the most fearsome foes. A purple hue signifies the first, and when in this state Avril can cast ranged attacks as well as various spells. In plain English, this is the ability to change between dealing mental and physical damage at any time. In terms of gameplay, it’s all built around the polarity switching technique. This eventually leads to the possibility of several different endings to the game. There are plenty of characters which are expertly fleshed out, meaning you’ll really care about them which adds even more gravitas to the decisions that you make, and consequences that follow. The storytelling is brilliant, riveting and steeped in the lore of the numerous civilisations you come to know. However, things start to come together as the game gradually opens up. This is split into very short chunks by plenty of scene setting dialogue, but that does kill any sort of rhythm in the first hour or so. You’re put through a step by step tutorial to kick things off, introducing you to all the basic elements. I must admit, I did find Batora: Lost Haven something of a slow starter.
