A TALE OF NO RIGHTS OR WRONGS
There is no terrible evil to slay, no force of true good in play. Celestian Tales is a story of humanity taking shape in a fantasy world, of people pitted against people in clashing ideals and alignments.

In a quest to stay by your liege, malicious intrigues and conflicting moral principles may stretch your trust in others.
A story of the natures of of humanity in a world of elves, faeries, and giants.
Opposing points of view clash with no clear rights or wrongs, and you get to make your choice where it counts.

PLAY IT HOW YOU WANT
Nobody plays alike. That's why JRPGS have parties, right? So whether you're on the 'kill it before it kills you' or the 'slowly but sure' camp, you can create your own perfect party composition to get through those bosses.

Think two, even three steps forward in Celestian Tales' turn-based combat, and utilize all advantages you have
Six characters with skills and equipment to be mixed-and-matched to fit into your personal team strategy

A COMBAT SYSTEM THAT APPRECIATES YOUR TIME
Look. We get it, you have a busy life and a lot of stuff compete for your time and attention. We're simply not the kids we used to be, with loads of free time to splurge on grinding for levels or items. We know that feeling -- and Celestian Tales is made for people like us.

Skip the fight-just-too-damn-many-random-encounters! Slither away from them as you like as each encounter is yours to choose. Or just plow through everything in your path.
Also skip the boring drink-some-potions and heal-party-outside-battle part. Stats reset by the end of each battle, so you can hit the road right away fresh and dandy.
Ever thought that encounters that end in two hits (sometimes one!) suck big time? In Celestian Tales, each combat encounter is designed to make you think about your next steps. Even against common enemies, just mindlessly whacking away can be a recipe for defeat.
All three combination above lets us design battles that matter. So no more enemies soaking your time mashing the normal attack button because you want to save those mana points for the actually important fights.
