Explained simply
Resonance of Fate is a role-playing game first released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. It was developed by tri-Ace and published by Sega, and is set in a world where people live in a vast machine that keeps the air breathable.
Players follow three mercenaries—Vashyron, Zephyr and Leanne—as they take on jobs and uncover how their society works. Battles mix real-time movement with turn-based planning, using guns rather than the swords and magic common in many fantasy role-playing games.
The game is known for its distinctive combat and lengthy story, which can take more than 50 hours to complete. Its return gives new players a chance to try an older, less familiar role-playing game, while existing players can move from the PS4 version to the updated release.
