Exstetra is a traditional role-playing video game in the vein of the Tales series, except with a turn based battle system.Characters are able to transfer energy between one another via kissing. EXS energy is obtained by defeating monsters, and is used towards special techniques.Players are also able to upgrade their weapons and armor by ‘enchanting’ them, and abilities become stronger depending on how many times the gear has been enchanted. Enchantment stones are able to be purchased, but can also be obtained from defeated enemies.The game’s overall theme is “saving the world with a kiss”.The main character, a male teenager called Ryoma,[1] has the ability to “kiss”, and, in effect, “absorb” energy from enemies, and use that energy to create “miracles”.The game’s setting has been described as a combination of an otherworldly fantasy land that was abruptly fused with one more like a “modern-day Tokyo”, with the game depicting the repercussions of such an event.
