This slow progression prevents the character from upgrading weapons too quickly, which creates a nice balance in combat. Initially, only basic resources can be gathered, but as the game progresses, more diverse ones become available. The currency is helpful in upgrading weapons and tools, expanding dew bottle capacity and effectiveness, or even unlocking neat hats (sun hats with glasses, mining helmets, etc.) and backpacks to customize Concord. Gather the GoodsĬoncord earns money in the form of colored coins (of varying values) through various avenues: defeating enemies, breaking stones and stumps, fishing, daily mailbox income, and even selling surpluses of resources gathered. In addition, Concord cannot use the memories until the corresponding Guardian statue is discovered in the game progression. Each of these memories needs to be unlocked, which may require certain actions to be performed, such as making X number of strikes with a sword (criterion hidden). These memories are rather useful as they can provide Concord with stat boosts (though, they sometimes lower a different stat), a boost to resource gathering, or even a special move such as a double air slash with the sword. They can be adjusted at any time by returning to the leaf bed at a base. Lastly, there are memories that can be equipped to a particular memory equipment slot, which can be expanded later on. Many of these orbs are optional and sometimes require backtracking, allowing each person to decide how conservative or thorough they want to play the game. These orbs may resist breaking until the correct type and damage amount is applied (e.g., an upgraded hammer or charged sword attack). Your stamina is limited at the beginning of the adventure, but eventually, the character increases his stamina and health bars upon breaking colored orbs found throughout the game. However, each of those maneuvers consumes stamina. Other times, evasive maneuvers such as running or rolling can get Concord away from harm. In addition to pure combat strategies, Concord acquires a shield which allows the character to block incoming attacks, which is useful for ranged threats. In addition, each weapon can be upgraded multiple times throughout the game, increasing its stats, with a certain amount of currency and resources. Each weapon can charge for a special attack, but it consumes more bars of stamina, such as an air slash with the sword or area-of-effect damage with the hammer. Each time a weapon is used, it consumes one bar of stamina, which requires a few seconds to recharge back to full. Uniquely, the dowsing rod acts like a fishing rod, doing damage at varying ranges from close to far away. For example, the hammer does more damage than the sword, but the sword is faster and has a longer reach. Each weapon possesses stats for the damage, speed, and range. Grape of WrathĬoncord has many tools at his disposal to aid in his battles against the Rot, such as a sword, a hammer, and a dowsing rod.
With their help, Concord has his work cut out for him in gathering resources, battling the Rot, helping others with their problems, rebuilding structures and libraries, and bringing people together. Concord is the freshly named Guardian of The Grove and is faced with a difficult task of taking on the Rot and rebuilding the community and island.Īlthough several inhabitants voice their doubt about Concord’s abilities as a Guardian, there are several close allies that help guide him on the journey. Unfortunately, The Grove’s existence is threatened by purple sludge monsters called the Rot, which have caused trouble for inhabitants throughout the island.
The story starts with a young grape named Concord fresh off the vine on an island called The Grove. Explore the various unique ecosystems and dungeons while battling monsters with an array of tools, bringing the community together, and restoring the island. The game features a lush world filled with a unique, close-knit community, and you face challenges as you work to revitalize your home island.
