The controls are designed well and simple, it won’t be hard to learn and use the controls effectively. Upon encountering enemies, you will enter an open battlefield area where you can move freely in the area.ĭifferent from the first Ni No Kuni‘s turn-based combat, you will now fight in real-time using the classic moves – light attacks, heavy attacks, magical abilities, dodge roll and block. You will be able to form a party with up to 3 characters and switch between them easily during a battle (you will only command one at a time while the others will fight automatically beside you). Interestingly, your characters are portrayed in adorable chibi-styled characters when you enter the World Map. You can travel through town, dungeons and more around the world, there are also fast-travel points that you can spawn and reduce the time taken for your long journey.
Other than the linear storyline with set objectives, you can explore the open world all you want.
