Imagine diving into a vibrant world as a runaway experiment, navigating through a network of islands brimming with secrets and challenges. That’s precisely what you get with Synth Beasts. You step into the shoes of a "Synth," a failed lab experiment seeking freedom from a mysterious island-bound lab. But don’t expect a peaceful stroll, as the wild terrain is home to other unfriendly Synths, eager to challenge you. Conquering these foes lets you add them to your team, granting access to their special abilities, making each new discovery a fresh opportunity for both combat and exploration.
Visualize the moment: you’ve just bested a rival Synth, and now its powers are yours to wield. Keep your Synths actively battling to level them up, with each victory earning them experience points. These points are crucial, allowing your team to progress through five distinct stages, each stage gifting unique bonuses that make your Synths one-of-a-kind. However, leveling up isn’t a cakewalk—the higher the level, the more challenging it becomes. To get the most out of your team, regular swapping is essential, ensuring you maximize their capabilities and unveil new talents.
Take the "Psitek," for example. Right from the get-go, it can light torches—pretty handy, right? By level three, it gains an impressive fire slash move that can obliterate projectiles, a lifesaver in tricky dungeon battles. But most of its upgrades focus on combat prowess, so if you’re looking for a diverse skill set, switching up Synths might save you heaps of experience points!
Early adventures present you with a boat, a relic from your creators now at your disposal. Set sail across the Genesis Archipelago, exploring a myriad of islands each hiding treasures like extra hearts, power-boosting trinkets, and currency for shops. If painstaking exploration isn’t your style, you can cut to the chase, facing off against the scientists on the main islands to dismantle their dubious operations.
However, don’t think the main islands own all the action. Optional islands house boss Synths and plenty of rewards for daring explorers. Wrangling all 40-plus Synths won’t be easy, yet each discovery promises worthwhile upgrades and surprises.
Adventure through the Genesis Archipelago, liberate the Synth Beasts, and halt the unethical exploits of the scientists! Look out for Synth Beasts hitting Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the Microsoft Store in 2025.
