In Synth beastsYou take on the role of a failed experiment – a “Synth” – who escapes from his creators' laboratory to a mysterious island. As you explore the surrounding archipelago, you will encounter other synths. However, they are anything but friendly and you are forced to defeat them in battle. Upon victory, you unlock them as playable characters and gain access to their unique abilities for both combat and world exploration.
Using your synths in battle earns you experience points and allows you to level up. Each synth has five progression levels with unique bonuses that set it apart from the rest. The higher the level of your synthesizer, the harder it becomes to gain additional experience. So switch between them often to maximize your team's potential and unlock more abilities!
For example, the “Psitek” synth can light torches right from the start. Once it reaches level three, it gains the ability to destroy projectiles with its fire slash – an invaluable skill for certain dungeons. However, beyond that, most leveling bonuses focus on improving combat. For this reason, it may be better to switch to a different synth to unlock new abilities without needing as many experience points!
At the start of the game, you'll gain access to a boat that was once used by the scientists, and you'll be able to take it with you! The Genesis Archipelago is teeming with small islands where you can explore hidden bonuses like extra hearts, stat-boosting items, and money to spend in shops. If you're not the type to scour every corner of the map, you can jump to the main islands and confront the scientists directly to end their questionable operations.
While there are boss synths on the main islands, many optional islands are also their home. Looting all 40+ Synths will be no easy task, but every single corner of the Genesis Archipelago holds valuable rewards for those who seek them!
Explore the Genesis Archipelago, free the synth beasts and put an end to the scientists' sinister experiments! Synth Beasts will be released in 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and the Microsoft Store.
