About Alvastia Chronicles
Alvastia Chronicles is a retro‑styled RPG that follows siblings Elmia and Alan as they pursue the man who killed their parents while defending Alvastia from a flood of monsters. Their story drives a world‑wide trek that introduces a large cast of potential allies.
The game lets players meet more than one hundred companions, assemble parties of up to thirteen members, and fight turn‑based battles. Weapon upgrades, a battle arena, and quests expand the experience, and Windows users can use an Xbox 360 controller with partial support.
01 / THE GUIDE
Companion Recruitment
The description notes that Alan and Elmia can encounter over one hundred distinct companions as they travel the world. Each encounter presents an opportunity to add a new character to the player’s roster, increasing strategic options.
Recruiting companions aligns with the narrative goal of building an army to confront the siblings’ parents’ killer, encouraging exploration of varied locations and dialogue moments.
- Focus early exploration on areas that promise multiple new characters.
- Record each companion’s role to see how they might fit into a thirteen‑member party.
02 / THE GUIDE
Turn‑Based Battles
Combat is described as turn‑based and allows up to thirteen party members to act in each encounter. Players must decide actions for each member, creating tactical depth against monster waves.
The system mentions bond activation and various effects, adding layers beyond simple attacks and encouraging thoughtful party composition.
- Mix offensive and support roles to keep options flexible.
- Experiment with different bond combinations to discover synergistic effects.
03 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Upgrades
Weapons can be upgraded, as listed alongside the battle arena and quests. Upgrades are intended to strengthen attacks and may unlock new capabilities for companions.
Improved weapons directly affect battle performance, especially when fielding a full thirteen‑member team, making upgrades a central part of progression.
- Prioritize upgrades for companions you use most often.
- Try the arena alongside weapon upgrades and quests as documented extra content.
04 / THE GUIDE
Battle Arena
A battle arena is mentioned as additional content beyond the main story. The arena offers additional challenges beyond the main story where large parties can be tested.
The arena serves as a testing ground for large parties and complex strategies before tackling story missions, offering a separate set of challenges.
- Use the arena to trial different party compositions without affecting story progress.
- Try arena challenges with different party sizes to test your strategies.
05 / THE GUIDE
Partial Controller Support
The app includes partial support for the Xbox 360 controller on Windows. This indicates that some game functions can be accessed via the controller, though the extent is not fully detailed.
Because the support is partial, other input methods may still be required for certain actions, but the controller offers an alternative way to interact with the game.
- Try the Xbox 360 controller to see which actions it handles in-game.
- Be prepared to switch to another input method if a required function is unavailable.
