Forspoken was released recently to a cluster of mixed responses. This game stands out as the latest showcase of Square Enix’s Luminous engine. And it looks as good as is expected of a game of this size and budget.

Aside from being beautiful, it is also pretty huge; it would not be surprising if first-time players find themselves overwhelmed by its size and sale. Such games also have some really in-depth mechanics that players are required to learn.

For such players, here are some tips that would keep them prepared for this journey!

Mana Nodes in the open world

First things first, in RPGs, if players want to be more powerful and unlock newer abilities, they need to level up. And in Forspoken, players need mana to level up. That mana can be earned through combat, completing quests, and such.

But one good way to collect a little mana every now and then is to just look around in the open world and pick up those mana nodes. Those nodes give players some mana once picked up, and they do add up to that larger pool, eventually.

Auto Switch support spells

Forspoken has a number of support spells. Those support spells go into cooldown mode once you use one of them. But after using one support spell, you have to press one and select another one, which is a slow process.

So it is recommended to just turn on Auto Switch for support spells. This will make your character switch to the next spell once the spell you were using goes into cooldown.

Stay away from THE MUTANTS

When exploring the open world of Forspoken, players would naturally come across these enemies called the Mutants. If you are just starting the game, just stay away from these mutants.

Keep your distance for the time being and come back when your character is a tad more powerful. The reason being these enemies are more powerful than you would be able to handle when underpowered.

The Bellfries are the phone towers of this game

The Bellfries in the open world of Forspoken would allow players to scan the surrounding area. They would also allow players to mark any points of interest in the game. So it is recommended to not just ignore them when you see one.

Come back later!

This game is open-world, but it is basically an open-world Metroidvania. If you go out exploring it in the very beginning, you would see a number of sights, but you would find some areas inaccessible due to the lack of some specific powers. It is recommended that players first unlock those powers and then go exploring the world.

Choose your powers

Once you start steadily gaining XP enough to level up certain powers, it is recommended you do not rush into it and first learn your preference. Learn what power you use the most and then take that decision to upgrade.

Eventually, you would end up unlocking them all, yes, but in the beginning, it is best if you go for the one that suits you the most!
