The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin

Presentation

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is an open-world Action RPG featuring an original story set between The Seven Deadly Sins and Four Knights of the Apocalypse. The player mainly follows Tristan, the son of Meliodas and Elizabeth, accompanied notably by Tioreh, the daughter of King and Diane.

The story begins with the discovery of the Book of Stars, an artifact capable of connecting different timelines. Its activation disrupts Britannia: forgotten regions reappear, several eras collide and characters from different periods can now meet.

Progression is built around freely exploring Britannia. Cities, forests, lakes, ruins, caves and hidden dungeons can be explored outside the main quests, with many side activities such as fishing, cooking, resource gathering and puzzle solving.

Certain monsters encountered in the world can also be captured and used as mounts, making travel easier while adding a collection element to exploration.

Combat takes place in real time with a team of four characters. The player can instantly switch from one to another in order to adapt to enemies, elements or the abilities required in a given situation.

Each hero has their own skills, but can also master multiple weapon types. By improving proficiency, a character can equip up to three different categories, each changing their attacks, skills and sometimes even their elemental focus.

Tristan, for example, naturally uses dual blades, but can also fight with other, heavier weapons. This system allows the same character to fulfill several roles depending on the chosen equipment.

Team composition also takes combined attacks into account. Certain combinations of characters, weapons or abilities allow coordinated offensive moves involving several party members.

The game therefore combines team building with direct action: a group's strength depends as much on the heroes selected as on their weapons, synergies and the player's ability to switch characters at the right moment.

Alongside the main adventure, which can be played solo, several activities can be tackled in co-op, including dungeons and challenges where a group can include up to five players with the host.

Conclusion

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin uses Britannia as a true open world while building an original story around the consequences of the Book of Stars.

Real-time character switching, different weapon types and combined attacks place particular emphasis on team building without giving up direct action.

The collision of eras also makes it possible to bring together characters from different points in the saga and connect the world of The Seven Deadly Sins with Four Knights of the Apocalypse in an adventure distinct from previous adaptations.
