Granblue Fantasy: Relink (v2.0.6 & ALL DLC)

Airships cut through an ocean of clouds in a brisk anime action RPG that treats its fantasy setting with both earnest adventure and huge, theatrical boss fights. Granblue Fantasy: Relink follows a skyfaring captain, Lyria, Vyrn, and an expanding crew as political conspiracies and ancient primal beasts threaten the Zegagrande Skydom. The main story moves between floating islands, character-driven scenes, and battles whose scale feels closer to a raid encounter than a typical JRPG skirmish. Its bright art direction and likeable cast keep the tone adventurous, even when the stakes grow world-ending.

Combat plays in real time, with a four-person party chosen from a large roster of fighters wielding very different weapons and rhythms. One character may rely on precise sword combos and dodges, while another casts from range, controls the field, or delivers slow, heavy strikes; AI companions handle the rest of the team in solo play. Successful attacks build toward coordinated Link Attacks and devastating Chain Bursts, rewarding players who exploit openings rather than merely mash through encounters. Story missions sit alongside repeatable quests, gear upgrades, skill development, and optional hunts for rare materials, while online co-op lets up to four players tackle tougher content together. Assist options, including full automation, make the action approachable for players who want the spectacle without demanding execution.

What separates Relink from many licensed anime RPGs is how convincingly it turns a mobile-born universe into a polished console-style action adventure, with enormous monsters, readable combat effects, and surprisingly distinct playable heroes. Bosses demand awareness of telegraphed attacks, positioning, party composition, and break windows, giving the endgame a satisfying Monster Hunter-like loop without abandoning its narrative focus. Lyria’s journal, side quests, and Fate Episodes provide substantial background for anyone who wants to know the crew beyond the main plot. Fans of Tales, Final Fantasy XIV raids, or character-action combat will find plenty to enjoy, while newcomers can enter without prior Granblue knowledge.
