Ex Astris is a adventure RPG with turn based combat that has some action elements. Now that I have purchased the game and am playing through it, I can tell you in full confidence that this game does not have any gacha or micro transaction. This is a one time purchase, buy to play premium mobile game. 🎮 Gameplay: So you might be wondering how a turn based game can have elements of a action game. When you engage combat with enemies, you do take turns between each other and your characters do require action points (AP) to use skills. But when it is the enemies turn to attack, your characters goes into a "defensive" state. In this state you will be able to perfectly parry the enemies attack if you time it properly.

Ex Astris features a unique blend of turn-based and real-time gameplay from the developer of Arknights, it’s not pausable real-time, nor a tactics strategy system. It instead offers an entirely fresh take on RPG combat. Front and center is the so-called Obscuran Maneuver System. This 'Obscuran Maneuver System' is an innovative combat system requires active engagement from the player for both offense and defense. During offensive turns, you need to activate skills in real-time, some of which may include bonus Quick Time Events (QTEs). Defensive turns allow you to switch between characters on the fly to manage incoming damage and activate defensive skills such as dodging or parrying.
