Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling has 3 main characters with unique abilities:
- Leif is a moth with magical skills who can freeze certain opponents and water in order to then use the icy objects instead of platforms;
- Kabbu is a rhinoceros beetle and part-time tank that can push certain objects and cut through obstacles;
- V is a bee armed with a boomerang, capable of attracting objects and switching levers from a distance.
Each character has its own character and interesting past. Their skills are used to solve puzzles and in battles with enemies. While solving puzzles, you are allowed to switch between members of the Snake’s Mouth squad at any time. There is no usual loot in this project. You can only hang medals on your fighters. Badges (there are about 200 of them) improve the characteristics of their owners and provide additional skills. You won’t be able to attach everything at once. The number of slots is limited. The number of available cells increases as the level increases.
The battles here are turn-based. In battle, in addition to abilities, you can use things, carry out various attacks and place blocks. Attacking and defensive actions are presented in the form of QTEs. Timely and correct key presses provide a bonus to attack or reduce enemy damage. All opponents have their own vulnerabilities. The entire combat is based on their search. There is an opportunity to give moves to allies. This allows you to fight more effectively with opponents who are immune to the arsenal of techniques of a particular character.
