Reviews Nintendo Switch 2 The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Review (Switch 2) Witness the Millennium Version Reviewed: North American review by George Yang Wed, 1pm Share: Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube 848k Square Enix’s HD-2D art style has done wonders for its games. From creating new IPs like Triangle Strategy and Octopath Traveler , to tasteful remakes like the Dragon Quest Erdrick trilogy and Live a Live , the charming presentation has been able to deliver modern gameplay while still invoking a retro feeling. So far, the HD-2D style has been used for only turn-based games, until now. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is the first HD-2D game with real-time action combat. It works surprisingly well, feeling like a mix between Zelda: A Link to the Past and Ys Origins . Fortunately, The Adventures of Elliot manages to establish an identity for itself thanks to its time-spanning story and incredible visuals.

Captured on Nintendo Switch 2 (Handheld/Undocked) You play as the titular Elliot, an orphan with a knack for adventuring. Beast tribes overrun the land of Philabieldia, and the Kingdom of Huther is protected from them by a magical spell cast by the Princess of Heuria. After discovering the Doorway of Time, he meets a fairy named Faie, and they go on a journey that spans a millennium in order to save Huther from falling. While the story is your typical 'save the world' plot, it manages to stand out thanks to how Elliot’s actions in the past snowball throughout the different time periods he visits, eventually accumulating in his present time, the Age of Safekeeping.
