Thousand Arms is a fun game and very unique. The games your typical save the world type deal but the gameplay is different. You are Meis Triumph. To advance in the game and become stronger there are 4 female characters that join you who you must date. This is not a dating sim game its a RPG. Each girl has a different element, and when you date them their effection level for you increases. The higher it increases the better chance for items as well as increases when you increase your weapons power at the smith. If Meis' weapon was level 1 but Meis was level 10 and he had a good effection for Sophia he could forge a level 10 weapon as well as get some basic healing spells for himself.. Getting the effection with all girls is a key to this game because if all your characters want all the magics you have to take the dating slow at times and forge each of your characters weapons 1 level at a time, but only if you want all the levels. You can date minor NPC's as well and get boosts for your weapons from them only in those towns. In total there are 7 characters, 3 men *only Meis gets dates but the other 2 seem to attract women quite often* and 4 women.

The games battle system is unique as well, fights consist in parties of 3, but the main fight is 1 on 1. If you're lead character is defeated or decided to run from the battle the player behind him can take his spot, and so on until you either completely run from the battle or are defeated. The characters behind you can help minor such as healing with spells or items, they cannot attack in any way possible. The game is great but alot of people haven't heard of this game. I never heard of the game before myself until I visited my cousin and traded for it. Overall this is a good game and would be good to look into.
