Please download the package guides as they cover everything up to Journey Galaxis+1 and I spent a lot of time putting the guides together so they look great and of use to anyone who needs help with playing.

You'll meet some quirky monsters and sometimes some really cunning humans out there that will try to be a handful during a battle.

I'm here with a guide to help reduce any frustration that might come a long when a target becomes just as focused as Neo from the Matrix!

Attacking:

Each character and enemy has their own main Attack. The default main Attack always has a chance to hit or miss, however, depending on the weapon you use the main Attack will change and may not miss due it's special effect . Main attacks usually cost no Ability Points or MP unless the weapon you have equipped changes the attack in to a more special attack which you will discover by trying and buying different weapons.

Guarding:

Guarding will allow the party member to recover HP, MP and gain Ability points for the next turn. It's a useful tactic to use when there is low HP and MP or when the monster is tough. Guarding will heavily reduce any incoming damage unless that ability can cut through defense and there are only a few monsters with the skill to do this.  Targets can also Guard as shown above, each enemy may choose to use this option to enhance their stats and prepare for an incoming attack.

Please note: Physical Resistance effect will make a Targets defense stronger against many incoming attacks. In the clip above you can see that Impact Attack damage is affected by Phrysical resistance and so it will do much less due to this effect where as Xaions, Render Strike cuts through the resistance.

Even though your Impact Attack has been made weaker due to the resistance it then means you can use Agility Break, this ability will reduce the Physical Resistance and cause damage, any other atatck by your party members will then be stronger as a counter blow!

Skills:

Skills offer new attack and defence options. Skills mainly use MP and the stronger the ability or the better it's effect then the more it will eat at your HP and MP or Ability points. Using Impact Attack costs a lot of MP, however it won't miss and has a ver high Critical rate. All the Skills have been balanced so they are not overpowered and serve a great use in each battle. Skills will only be active if you have the required MP or Ability Points, so when these Skills are grey then using an option which is active or Guard to recover MP and even use Items to recover.

Stance:

At a certain level you will discover an ability called Hunters Stance which is an advance battle ability.  A Stance ability changes the look of the party member and increases their stats, the party members Stance is different to each others and will give different effects to each member. When in Stance mode new Skills are added which can be used during the most difficult battles. Stance quite simply used to turn the tide of battle when your party is at their limit and in a battle that is against difficult enemies. The Stance abilities and effects can make your stats improve greatly for a few cruicial turns and allow powerful abilities if you then find you're still not strong enough, just be sure to Guard and build up the ability points or MP to unleash your Stance abilities. Stance effect lasts between battles and so if you are in Stance mode in your last battle it carries forward to the next.

Items:

You may use items to recover as well as use throwing items to throw at enemies. Magic Bombs are such items which can also help to clear the most fierce target. Items server to recover HP, MP and Ability points and some items will recover not just a single party member but all of them. Make use of items when a battle is looking bleak or a party member is low on HP, but also bare in mind that Guard is an amazing way to avoid item usage too.

Journey Galaxis does use a game pad and here are the controls for battle.

• Arrow Keys select option
• Buttons. A Button : Accept or Select
• B Button: Go Back or Deselect.
• If you press B button a few times the option to Escape is given, just bare in mind that there is a chance the Escape will failr or the battle is inescapable.

Any party member that is K.O'd is automatically revived after battle and for your good work you'll also recover HP and MP.
