X Marks the Spot

The next massive sci-fi role-playing game from Monolith Soft, the creators of Baten Kaitos and Xenoblade Chronicles, comes exclusively to Wii U. A terrible intergalactic war leaves just a handful of Earth survivors trying to live in a beautiful yet hostile environment. Players engage in battles against powerful creatures of all forms and sizes using the deep battle system that builds on the triumphs of Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii.

FEATURES:

• Riding and controlling a weaponized mech, players can explore every inch of the massive open world displayed in gorgeous high-definition graphics. The world is filled with strange and imaginative creatures, from small bugs to giant dinosaurs.
• As characters improve in different classes, they will learn new combat and defensive skills, or Arts. Players can customize the Arts palette as their characters learn new Arts. All Arts have a “recast" time – once cast, the player must wait out a “cooldown" period before that Art can be used again.
• Players can customize everything about the main character's appearance, including gender, shapes, height, skin color, voice and tattoos.

Story

In the year 2054, the Earth has been destroyed after being caught in a war between two alien races. Humanity evacuates the planet in the form of massive ships carrying them through space. One of the ships, the American ship, crash-lands on the planet Mira, and must survive against the indigenous life and one of the warring alien races as they attempt to establish their colony of "New Los Angeles".

Gameplay

Xenoblade Chronicles X features similar gameplay to the original title, with an emphasis placed on exploring the world. The objective of exploring each area is to find stasis capsules which have landed all over the planet and recover them. Players can travel on foot or in massive robots called Skells, which can fly and transform into other vehicles.

Using the Wii U GamePad, player can access information on the native life forms that has been collected, view the map, warp to previously visited locations, or play using Off-TV Play.
