Tales of ARISE

Tales of ARISE is an action RPG from Bandai Namco, developed by Bandai Namco Studios and designed for single-player play. Its story opens after 300 years of tyranny on the planet Dana, where the people are oppressed by rulers from the star Rena. You take on the role of the sole wielder of a powerful flaming sword, a character who has lost their sense of pain and their memories. Alongside an untouchable girl and a growing band of companions, you set out to fight back against the people who hold power over the planet.

Exploration is a big part of the appeal. The store description highlights a world that shifts between day and night, with rocky terrain to climb, wide rivers to swim across, and everyday moments like gathering around a campfire or cooking your own meals. Travel carries you from one town to the next as the party works toward liberating the people.

Combat is presented as stylish and action-driven. The new boost-strike system lets your party members combine into powerful cooperative attacks, and the store text connects it to linking artes, boost attacks and boost strikes as the way to bring enemies down. The game is clearly built around a team, so timing and coordination in fights are central.

The presentation leans on what the store calls Atmos Shaders, a new rendering approach that draws on animation style and watercolor painting to give the natural world a delicate look. Characters are meant to feel expressive, and the story's climactic moments are enhanced by animated sequences produced by ufotable.

• The campaign is single-player only, with full controller support so a gamepad works throughout.
• A day-and-night cycle plays out across natural environments that include rock climbing, river swimming, and campfire cooking.
• The boost-strike system lets party members link together for powerful cooperative attacks against enemies.
• Atmos Shaders give the world a watercolor-inspired, animation-influenced look with expressive characters.
• Animated sequences produced by ufotable appear during the story's climactic moments.
• Steam achievements, trading cards, cloud saves, and family sharing are all supported.

Steam reviewers have rated Tales of ARISE 極度好評, which is Very Positive in English, with 87% of reviews being positive. The total number of reviews runs into tens of thousands, which gives the rating a solid sample size.

A Very Positive label backed by a volume this large usually means most players who spent real time with the game came away satisfied, although no rating can guarantee it will suit your taste. Smaller review pools are less reliable because a handful of opinions can swing the score, so the broader sample here makes the rating a sturdier signal.

All prices in this section are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The game is currently discounted to NT$ 476 from a regular price of NT$ 1190, which is a 60 percent discount. That current price is also the lowest we have recorded, first seen on June 24, 2026, and the highest price we recorded was the regular NT$ 1190.

We have seen the game discounted often across our records, but it has not been free to keep on any day we tracked. Because of this, the sale is a meaningful one compared with the regular price, and the NT$ 476 level is the lowest figure in our log so far.

Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. If you want the game at the best price we have seen, the current NT$ 476 is a strong deal, but the limited history means we cannot yet tell whether it will drop further. If you are happy with the price and want to play now, it is a reasonable time to buy.
