Xenoblade Chronicles tells about the adventures of a guy named Shulk. The hero found himself drawn into a conflict between organic and mechanical races. They settled on the bodies of two frozen titans – Bionis and Mekonis. The protagonist finds the Monado's energy sword and goes on a journey with his friends. Gradually, new fighters join his team. This is a Japanese role-playing game with an open world. Many locations are available for exploration from the very beginning. The project has an atypical combat system. Enemies are displayed on the map. When confronted with an enemy, the battle begins immediately, rather than taking place in a separate arena. Contractions take place in real time. The user can activate various skills of his charges and change their positions, but the warriors and warriors attack on their own. The damage dealt depends on positioning.

The original Xenoblade Chronicles came out in 2010. This release contains a reissue that came out 10 years later, in 2020. The new version is also known by the subtitle Definitive Edition in the title. In it, the developers improved and changed the graphics. They brought the visual style closer to that of the sequel. The developers also redrew the interface. The creators also redesigned the controls and slightly changed the gameplay.

They allow you to avoid particularly powerful attacks from adversaries in time. The gamer controls only one character, and the rest are controlled by artificial intelligence. After the end of the skirmish, all squad members' health is automatically restored. Experience is awarded for killing monsters. Exp is also given for exploring areas and finding secrets. There are also friendly NPCs in the locations. They give out hundreds of different quests. The local setting combines science fiction and fantasy.
