OCTOPATH TRAVELER: CotC

A story-led role-playing game

OCTOPATH TRAVELER: CotC is a single-player role-playing game set in Orsterra, where you follow stories shaped around Wealth, Power and Fame. It suits players who want a substantial, turn-based adventure with exploration and character progression, rather than a short arcade-style session. The presentation combines pixel-art characters with three-dimensional scenery and lighting for a look that bridges classic and modern RPGs.

Build a team, plan your turns

Combat uses a party of up to eight travelers, arranged in front and back rows. Switching characters and choosing attacks gives battles a layer of team planning: you can shape your lineup around the challenges ahead instead of relying on a single hero. The game also includes different character roles and elemental abilities, so building a balanced party is part of the strategy.

Explore beyond the battles

Orsterra’s towns and routes give you room to move between story scenes and encounters. Interactions with people you meet can help you gather items or recruit assistance, making exploration useful as well as atmospheric. The three central story paths provide distinct themes to follow, while the turn-based format lets you take fights at a measured pace.
