Octopath Traveler is a role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix released exclusively on the Nintendo Switch. The game was released on the 13th of July and was received with almost perfect scores from critics, becoming one of the highest rated RPGs this year.
In
Octopath Traveler players can choose between 8 protagonists to begin their journey, once they've selected their first traveler they can meet the rest along the way and even have them join their party.
The game does a great job at making players care for their character's motivations, this is further emphasised when adding other characters to the party because, in order to add them, players need to play Chapter 1 of every character they want joining their fellowship—making possible for players to play every single story in one playthrough.
Today, Square Enix and Nintendo have confirmed that
Octopath Traveler has managed to ship an impressive 1 million units in less than a month, making it one of the fastest-selling RPGs in recent times. The beautiful graphics harkening back to the 16-Bit era, the brilliant turn-based combat system, the engaging stories that every single one of the characters have, and the fantastic soundtrack have made the game quite an experience for fans of the genre.
Octopath Traveler selling 1 million units in 21 days is quite an achievement, especially since the game is only being sold on the Nintendo Switch. Square Enix has really delivered a fantastic game that is worthy of every great score it's got from critics and fans; out hats are off to you, Square Enix.
