Falcata

About Falcata

Falcata is a 1995 role-playing game developed by Gust and published by Koei Tecmo. It released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation and PlayStation Portable.

Falcata was one of the first games released on Playstation in Japan, and for sure it was a strange one, the game is a mix between an strategy board game and a RPG game. In the game screen, the game draws a line connecting some different circles on a map, given a genuine and bizarre sense of atmosphere.

The game features 6 different parties that can be customized in their clothes and hair, all of them with their own stats. The gameplay is about going around those places and examine them, in some of them you will have to fight and then the game takes the usual rpg style with turns to choose the proper actions that the player wants his characters to do.

But instead of fights he can also pay to avoid the fights, make pacts or discover relics, etc.
