The Adventures of Elliot – The Millennium Tales (NS2)

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a story-driven action RPG from Square Enix’s HD‑2D team, blending pixel art with modern effects in a style similar to Octopath Traveler but with real‑time combat instead of turn‑based battles. You play as the adventurer Elliot, accompanied by his fairy partner Faie, exploring newly discovered ruins beyond the Kingdom of Huther and traveling across four different eras over a thousand years to uncover the continent’s history and lift a long‑running curse. With intuitive top‑down action, weapon swapping, and puzzle‑filled dungeons that evoke classic 2D Zelda and Mana games, it focuses on exploration, combat, and cooperative play, including an optional second player controlling Faie.​
