Shiness is a new action-RPG developed by indie development studio Enigami that we’ve been following for quite some time. Travel through an enchanting yet hostile world where the lands of Mahera have become fragmented. The new series of screenshots unveiled today will tell you more about the game’s five playable characters.
You play as Chado, a young and adventurous Waki able to communicate with a spirit from nature, the Shiness, and who masters the element of Earth. You will helped by Poky, an engineering genius able to repair anything mechanical, who is able to manipulate magnetic fields and electrical currents. Kayenne is a powerful Shelk warrior, who harnesses the psychic gift of Telekinesis; with this power, he may interact with the environment remotely, or paralyze enemies in battle. Askel is a fearsome mercenary, whose whip is destructive in combat, but is also useful during exploration to retrieve items normally out of reach. Finally, Rosalya uses the Fire element to disperse darkness, reveal hidden items or enemies, or inflict heavy damage during combat.
Complementarity between the members of your team will play an important role, as much during exploration as in the dynamic, 1-versus-1 combat of Shiness. Once in the arena, it’s up to you to adopt the best timing to chain punches, kicks, magic attacks and destructive combos. During these duels, your companions can intervene to replace the lead fighter, or help when required. Task your teammates with healing you when your health is low or to cast a spell to boost your strength at the start of every fight, and wisely use the Elemental affinities of each characters to weaken your enemies.
