Quintessential of console-style role-playing, Japan's popular Arc the Lad series returns to the U.S. in this PS2-exclusive release. Boasting over 60 hours of gameplay, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits offers 3D exploration and tactical battle through a deep story line set thousands of years after the adventures of the previous games. Players visit a dark world, rife with chaos and destruction, to join the heroes Darc and Kharg. Separated at birth, these two brothers have rejoined to seek the mystical Spirit Stones, powerful artifacts which may hold the only hope of returning order and peace to the land. Twilight of the Spirits features well over a dozen playable characters, each with distinct weaponry, attack styles, and special abilities. As in most games of this style, learning to use these varied powers together will be important to the party's survival. Motion-captured cut-scenes and in-game voice-overs are designed to bring out the personalities of each individual.
