Check out the following list and try these 5 games that share similar aspects to Metaphor Refantazio including Persona 5.
Metaphor Refantazio, developed by Atlus and produced by Sega, is a turn-based combat RPG. The game is set in the fantasy world of the United Kingdom of Euchronia. The king has been assassinated and an election is in order to determine the next ruler of the throne. The game has mostly received positive reviews and has gained a huge fanbase. As a result, a large number of fans of Metaphor Refantazio would like to try their hands on similar games. If you are one of them, then here are 5 games that you need to try out.
1) Persona 5 Royal
Let’s start off the list with Persona 5 Royal, a game created by the same developer as Metaphor Refantazio (Atlus). Both JRPGs share a lot of common aspects. Both games feature a calendar system where players need to manage their time. In terms of combat, both games follow a turn-based mechanism, where the players explore dangerous dungeons and fight various enemies. Forming social bond with the other characters plays an important role in these two games.
The similarities between Persona 5 Royal and Metaphor Refantazio go further i.e. the players awaken special powers like “Archetypes” in Metaphor Refantazio and “Personas” in Persona 5 Royal. The same music composer worked in both the games. Considering all these, fans of Metaphor Refantazio have a high chance of being interested in Persona 5.
2) Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age
Another similar game to Metaphor Refantazio is Square Enix’s Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age, a traditional JRPG designed by the late Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball. It is the eleventh installment of the long-running JRPG “Dragon Quest”. Both JRPGs are similar in a number of aspects. They share similar combat mechanics such as a turn-based combat system, changing character roles, and party mechanism. The major story arcs of both games are akin, as both focus on the protagonist and their party and emphasize the character development with the alliances.
3) Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance
Shin Megami Tensei is another must-try game for the fans of Metaphor Refantazio. Atlus’ Persona franchise itself is a spin-off from the popular Megami Tensei franchise. Shin Megami Tensei 5 focuses on the battle between Angels and Demons. This game too bears a lot of resemblance to Metaphor Refantazio. Akin to Metaphor, Shin Megami Tensei V emphasizes the players exploring the dark fantasy world filled with a variety of demons and monsters.
During your gameplay, you can interact and fight various demons and even recruit them. Both games also share similarities such as awakening special powers and abilities for the characters and participating in a turn-based combat system. Shin Megami Tensei V would be a great addition if you are looking for another game to play after Metaphor Refantazio.
4) Final Fantasy 13
A number of games from the Final Fantasy franchise share a similar flavor to Metaphor Refantazio such as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Final Fantasy 12, Final Fantasy 13, and Final Fantasy 16. Naturally, you may wonder, why Final Fantasy 13 is on the list? The reason is the Paradigms feature in Final Fantasy 13, which acts similarly to the Archetypes in Metaphor Refantazio.
Players can shift the Paradigms (Role/Class) even in the middle of a battle, allowing them to devise a strategic plan to defeat the enemies similar to Archetypes in Metaphor Refantazio. As both games also share a likeness in the plot and the gameplay, Final Fantasy 13 can be easily recommended to a Metaphor Refantazio lover.
5) Visions of Mana
Changing the Archetype instantly during the combat is one of the coolest aspects of Metaphor Refantazio. It allows the players to analyze the enemy strategically and formulate a plan to defeat them. Changing the Archetype instantly alters the character’s playstyle, strength and abilities. Square Enix’s Visions of Mana also follows a similar system, that enables the players to switch the class instantly.
In the recently released action RPG, players have the option of swapping to 45 different classes with a single click among eight major characters. Although, these may look similar for both games, Visions of Mana does not follow a turn-based combat system like Metaphor.
