Seeker of Light

Seeker of Light is a 2016 3D open world action role-playing game for the Nintendo Switch, published by Fantendo & Square Enix and developed by the latter. It was released in the summer of 2016 and is the first installment of the Seeker Trilogy. It follows a mysterious young man named Medietas as he explores the vast Realm Between. In the Seeker universe, every living being is born from either Light or Darkness, but for Medietas, it is unclear for him. The game follows his quest to find out who he really is and why he is constantly fighting Darkness's forces despite having powers of Darkness himself. The game features heavy customization, even allowing players to construct their own fighting moves and combos.
==Gameplay==
General overview: Seeker of Light is a JRPG that blends action, exploration, stealth, and more. The game's setting, the Realm Between, is a gigantic free-to-traverse open area that is full of items and enemies. It is divided by five sections and also includes several landmarks. There are multiple types of items that can restore HP & MP, boost stats, and provide upgrades for Medietas's sword Sectilis. The player will encounter three types of enemies--Forces of Light, Forces of Darkness, and the Pravusators. The game allows players to choose their own moves for their combos, as well as customize the mechanics and effects of magic attacks.

Combat: Seeker of Light's combat is filled with hack-and-slash/beat-'em-up elements. Paired with the game's fresh and original Combo Builder system, players are free to fight in any form they choose. Magic attacks can also be customized. Medietas fights in two phases: with his sword, and without. He has sworn to never kill, but since the Forces of Darkness and Light cannot truly die, he freely uses his sword, Sectilis, to fight them. However, when Medietas is fighting the Pravusators, a human military group, he'll fight them hand-to-hand, using Sectilis only for support (such as blocking gunfire). When fighting hand-to-hand, the player is unable to use any offense-based magic, leaving him/her with only Healing Leaf (which restores HP) and Blinding Light (which stuns enemies without damaging them). The game mainly focuses on the sword-based combat. Medietas can attack enemies on the ground and in the air. Some combos can start on the ground and finish in the air. When Medietas attacks an enemy, he will automatically lock onto them until the combo finishes and/or the enemy is defeated. If they're defeated in the middle of a combo, Medietas will "transfer" to the nearest enemy and finish it on them, somewhat similar to the Batman: Arkham games. When enemies are defeated, the player receives cache (the game's currency) and experience points.

==Story==
Prologue: In the beginning, there was only Light and Darkness. They both wanted the universe for themselves, and so, they battled relentlessly for millions of years. They were evenly matched, however, and the two entities came to realize their battles were pointless. As a result, they did something neither of them thought was possible: they compromised. The two worked together to create the Realm Between, a world comprised of both light and dark. They created life in the form of plants, animals, and people. People were special. Each and every one of them was born from Light or Darkness. This supposedly meant that people's hearts were filled with love or malice. But people were such complicated creatures. An act of kindness did not necessarily mean a person was born from the light, and an act of greed didn't mean a person was born from the dark either.
Then something happened that would change the Realm Between forever--something neither Light or Darkness could predict. One day, a man climbed atop the highest mountain...and harnessed the power of light. Believing that the Light was the cause of this, and that it would intentionally cause imbalance to the Realm Between, the Darkness sent its forces to battle this special person. Using the power of light, the man fought hard and valiantly, and eventually came out victorious. The people witnessed this impossible display of power, and they worshipped the man as if he was the Light itself. The man changed his (undiscovered) real name to "the Great Reverend" and began ruling over the Realm Between.
The Darkness became enraged when it saw that the Light was doing nothing to stop this. It sent out even more of its forces in hopes of overthrowing the Great Reverend and restoring balance to the Realm Between. The world became plagued by Darkness's monsters, so the Great Reverend created the Pravusators, a highly advanced military with the sole purpose of dispelling the Forces of Darkness. For decades, the Realm Between was on the verge of being a desolate battlefield, but full-on war was never reached...yet.
