Quartet Switch NSP Gameplay:

Quartet features a well-balanced turn-based combat system which combines tactical positioning with extensive character customization. Every one of the four protagonists starts the game with specific skills, and as players advance new skills, passive traits and equipment can be unlocked, which can change the way they fight in battle, from frontline tank to elemental mage to agile scout.

The grid-based movement system encourages the player to think carefully about how he moves, what terrain bonuses he can take advantage of, and the elemental reactions he can use, so that it is never a dull game. The Switch has two controllers, Pro Controller and Joy Con, both of which provide a great response time and have intuitive button mapping for swapping abilities and navigating menus. Some actions are available through touch input to provide convenience for handheld play, but touch isn’t a main input method in the game.

In addition to combat, Quartet offers a great progression system with stats that can be improved through various items, crafting recipes, and side missions that further the main story. The game lets players take on a new or different character at any point during the battle, even after the game has started, so they can experiment with different abilities to turn things around in difficult fights. There is a difficulty option ranging from casual to expert, and a “Iron Mode” option that does not allow mid-battle saves.

The Switch’s suspend/resume option has also proved to be a great feature here, allowing players to pause the action without losing any progress and which works well with the game’s story-driven nature. Plus, there’s a New Game+ option, where players can import some of the game’s progress and also unlock extra content, such as special cosmetics based on old fashioned RPGs.
