Bravely Default 2
Nintendo Switch Exclusives 2021
If you’re more into JRPGs, then Nintendo isn’t making you wait very long as Bravely Default 2 is right around the corner. If you want a turn-based RPG that is in the same vein as Octopath Traveler or Final Fantasy V, then this is definitely the game for you.
Bravely Default 2 follows four heroes as they journey to restore the world’s power crystals to their original place and reset the world to its natural order. Along the way, you’ll battle powerful foes and obtain new jobs that your characters can use in battle.
The combat system revolved around a risk versus reward system that has you using Brave Points in order to string multiple attacks together in one round. You’ll have to use the Default command to give up your turn to gain Brave Points though, making you play defensively.
But you can also use Brave Points even if you haven’t accumulated any, leading you to skip your next couple of turns if you do so. You have to choose whether to play offensively or be patient and play on the defense.
Bravely Default 2’s combat plays very identically to the other games in the series.
Bravely Default 2 releases on the Nintendo Switch on Feb. 26 but if this sounds like something you’d enjoy, try out the free demo that lets you play for five hours.
