You don’t just sit in one place and do everything. The archipelago consists of two large islands where you’ll spend the majority of your time, but there are plenty of goodies to be found at sea. Now, the best way to avoid the feeling of monotony that I found is to actually explore these islands. Beyond the camps you’ll come across on your journey, there are four large industrial zones that play out like an all-out assault and four is probably one too many. There are ways to change it up, like setting fire to a bigger object and throwing that at your enemies, but it’s more or less the same thing. You’ll approach every Maano settlement the same way: grabbing explosives, taking control of them, and then lobbing them at your enemies. The issue is, as much fun as I have with the combat, it doesn’t change. Maybe it’s padding the game time or maybe I was just going through the game a bit too fast, but some of the combat sections of Tchia do last a bit longer than I would have liked. When in battle against Maano, the fabric soldiers mentioned earlier, she can possess gas cans and oil lamps that burn those mother truckers to ashes. As you explore the world, Soul Jumping into a bird, dog, or even a rock will help Tchia travel faster than she can on foot. With this, she can jump into any animal in the game and dozens of different objects. Our her has a few tools at her disposal, including a slingshot, a camera, and a flashlight, but the top weapon in Tchia’s arsenal is her “Soul Jumping” ability. That, and complete the story, as Tchia’s quest is largely tied to the narrative. But that would have to wait until I could expand Tchia’s powers. The monarch’s introduction to the player was so dark and demented, that I couldn’t wait to start kicking their ass. Meavora is about as evil of a villain as I’ve seen in quite some time. Accompanied by two fabric soldiers, the three of them take Tchia’s dad to Meavora, a malevolent king who rules over this tiny archipelago. Her idyllic island life was torn asunder with the arrival of an old acquaintance. Tchia is on a quest to get her father back.
