LumenTale: Memories of Trey, a colorful monster-collecting RPG developed by Beehive Studios and published by Team17, is now available on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop.
The launch coincides with a new trailer released by Team17 and Beehive Studios that highlights the title's creature-collection systems, strategic turn-based combat, and life-sim features.
Overview
LumenTale casts players as Trey, an adventurer exploring the world of Talea and recruiting magical creatures called Animon.
These creatures are powered by Anivis, an energy said to influence emotions across the game's regions.
Players can capture and train Animon to build parties for both PvE and PvP battles, with match formats ranging from one-on-one duels to 4v4 showdowns.
Key gameplay and systems
- 140 Animon: The game features 140 Animon species to discover and collect, each with elemental affinities and an assigned emotional attribute that affects combat behavior and strategy.
- Five attribute groups: Animon are grouped by five emotional attributes that grant different tactical advantages.
For example, the serene Sereum family raises a creature's chance to land critical hits, while the fearsome Horrens types can intimidate opponents and open opportunities for decisive strikes.
- Turn-based PvE and PvP: Parties can be assembled for both cooperative and competitive encounters, supporting traditional turn-based mechanics and tactical team play.
- The Anispace: A separate realm where players can train caught Animon and create a customized home.
Furnishing and spending time with Animon in the Anispace strengthens bonds and improves in-battle performance.
- Art cards and trading: Unique art cards affect encounter rates and the likelihood of finding rare Lost variants.
Cards can be traded locally or online via the in-game Animon Trade Station.
- Cooking and crafting: Resting at fountains allows players to cook recipes and craft resources that support exploration and progression.
