Let’s dive into the intriguing world of Synth Beasts, where you play as a “Synth” — a failed experiment that manages to flee from the laboratory of its creators on an enigmatic island. As you venture out into the nearby archipelago, you’ll come across other Synths. But beware, they aren’t exactly welcoming. You’ll have to battle and defeat these creatures, and once victorious, you’ll unlock them as playable characters. Each defeated Synth brings new abilities to your team, enhancing both your combat strategies and exploration skills.
In this game, using your Synths effectively in combat is key. Each victory grants them experience points, allowing for level-ups. Each Synth has five progressive levels, each offering distinct bonuses. As your Synth levels increase, accumulating experience becomes harder, so rotate your team regularly to maximize your squad’s capabilities and unlock more powerful abilities!
Take, for instance, the “Psitek” Synth. Right from the start, this Synth can light torches, but reach level three, and it’ll showcase the power to destroy projectiles with a fiery slash — a crucial skill for navigating tricky dungeons. As most of its advancements focus on combat enhancement beyond that, switching to another Synth might grant you new abilities more efficiently without the heavy grind for experience points.
Now, let’s talk about exploring. Early on, you’ll snag a boat that belongs to the scientists. This becomes your gateway to uncovering the Genesis Archipelago, which is dotted with small islands full of secrets like extra hearts, stat boosters, and in-game currency. Not a fan of exhaustive exploration? No worries, you can head straight to the main islands, confront the scientists, and halt their dubious experiments.
Main islands house boss-level Synths, but optional islands aren’t just for show either. Capturing more than 40 Synths is quite the challenge, but the rewards are worth every bit of your effort. Each hidden nook of the Genesis Archipelago contains something valuable for the determined explorer.
Set sail around the Genesis Archipelago, liberate Synth Beasts, and put a stop to the nefarious experiments conducted by these scientists! Look forward to the release of Synth Beasts in 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the Microsoft Store.
