A journey across time and four historical eras

To achieve this, Elliot and Faie must pass through the Doorway of Time and travel across four distinct eras of human history:

  • The Age of Safekeeping: The present age where Elliot lives.
  • The Age of Reconstruction: A harsh rebuilding era where humanity struggles to survive.
  • The Age of Magic: A golden age marking the peak of human prosperity thanks to magic.
  • The Age of Budding: An early era when human civilization is just beginning to form.

In each era, a terrifying threat awaits to test the courage of the duo.

Moving away from the traditional turn-based combat of previous titles, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales introduces a direct and fast-paced action-based combat system. Players will face beast tribes spreading across the continent by equipping two of seven different weapon types at the same time.

In addition to Elliot's combat abilities, support from fairy magic performed by Faie plays a crucial strategic role, helping players clear enemies while solving challenging puzzles along the way.

One of the standout features is its deep customization system through Magicite. Players can collect and embed these stones into Elliot's weapons to create a wide variety of unique skill combinations, allowing free-form combat styles and personalized ways to overcome obstacles.
