The Crystal Gems are back for the third game in the Light Trilogy! When two powerful Gem rulers threaten the newfound peace of Era 3, Steven and his friends must embark on a new RPG quest to stop them! It’s time to Unleash the Light!
Players can choose from 9 playable characters, including Steven, Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Bismuth, Peridot, Connie, and Greg. Each character has unique abilities and playstyles, allowing players to customize their party and experiment with different team compositions.
The turn-based combat system focuses on strategic positioning. Players can manipulate the positions of their party members on the battlefield, which affects the threat level and attacks of enemies. This adds an extra layer of depth, as players must carefully consider where to place their characters to gain advantages.
The game capitalizes on the concept of Gem Fusion from the source material, allowing players to fuse their characters into powerful combined forms like Smoky Quartz, Sunstone, Rainbow Quartz 2.0, and Obsidian. These fusion abilities provide devastating combo attacks that can turn the tide of battle.
As players progress, they can unlock new abilities and upgrades for their characters, further enhancing their strategic options in combat. This sense of progression and customization adds to the longevity and replayability of the experience.
In addition to the main story campaign, the game offers challenging post-game content, such as the "Black Hole" and "Rose's Room" modes. These game modes provide procedurally generated dungeons and battles, encouraging players to experiment with different team compositions and strategies to overcome the increasingly difficult challenges.
The game faithfully captures the characters, themes, and tone of the beloved animated series, making it a must-play for fans of Steven Universe. The diverse cast of characters, tactical combat system, fusion abilities, and challenging post-game content combine to create a compelling and polished tactical RPG experience.
