About This Game

BuddySkill Revolution Update

One player. Four buddies. Take command.

The boss's barrage is closing in. You're low on health, with barely any room to retreat.
Then the knight at your side raises their shield.

“Get behind me. I've got you!”

BuddySkill is a single-player party action RPG where you command four buddies.
Move your leader to dodge attacks and choose when to use skills and party commands. The opening a buddy creates can be your chance to strike back.

When danger closes in, your buddies step in

When your leader is low on health and danger is close, a nearby buddy can come to the rescue.
Each class has its own way to help you through a tight spot.

• Knight — Raises a shield to reduce the damage your leader takes.
  
• Mage — Clears some incoming standard projectiles to make room to dodge.
  
• Archer — Stuns nearby regular enemies, buying you time to fall back.
  
• Assassin — Uses a shadow double to briefly protect your leader from damage.
  
• Spellblade — Takes part of the damage meant for your leader.
  
• Warlock — Curses nearby enemies to weaken their attacks.

Your party can receive up to two rescues per boss encounter.
Where you move and when you counterattack after a rescue are up to you.

Same four buddies. Different leader, different tactics.

Choose four buddies from six classes to build your party.
Your leader determines the effects of party commands. Your class lineup also changes the range, shot count, and additional effects of party combo skills.

Basic attacks happen automatically.
You move the leader through the barrage and time your skills and party combos to catch enemies off guard.

This expedition's rewards shape the next fight

After a fight, pick the rewards your party needs.
Guardian Orbs circle you, Chain Lightning jumps between enemies, and meteors fall from above.
Collect certain rewards together to unlock combined effects.

Your remaining health carries into the next fight.
Take something that helps you survive right now, or build toward a combination for the next boss. At a fork, choose a route your party can handle.

Beyond the darkened beacons, someone is waiting to come home

Seven years ago, the beacons that guided people home began to go dark.
In the village of Lumien, people still put out an extra chair at sunset, waiting for someone who has yet to return.

As the new expedition leader, your first task is to find a medicine cart stranded on a forest road.
Fight through the monsters blocking the way. Bring back the medicine, and bring the person who was hauling it home, too.

Travel through forests, deserts, snowfields, and a city of endless night across four regions and 100 stages.
Defeat each region's final boss and find the way to the next return beacon.

There is more to do when you get home

• Gear and growth — Collect and enhance class gear. Match weapons and armor from the same class to complete set effects.
  
• Pets and companion stories — Raise pets that help in battle, take on companion requests, and go on patrol to discover their stories.
  
• Boss Challenge — Return to face bosses that grow stronger with each round.
  
• Challenge Tower, Defense, and Danger Zone — Hold out against waves, protect the guardian stone, and test your party in different kinds of combat.
  
• Daily Expedition and Expedition Journal — Take on daily tasks and earn rewards for the progress you make over the week.
  
• Steam leaderboards and achievements — Compete for boss clear records and collect rewards for combat, collection, and progression achievements.
