Illusion of Gaia Overview
Illusion of Gaia is an action role-playing game where the player controls a boy named Will. The setting is a fantasy interpretation of 16th-century Earth, incorporating real historical landmarks into its world.
Will possesses psychic abilities and becomes involved with Princess Kara, who seeks his help to avoid an arranged marriage. This leads them into a broader conspiracy. During the adventure, Will can transform into two distinct forms, the knight Freedan and the energy being Shadow, each with unique combat capabilities.
Progression is handled through a system where clearing areas of enemies rewards jewels that enhance the protagonist's attributes. The game lacks traditional elements like a currency system or equipment management, focusing instead on character transformation and direct stat improvement.
