More about Tales of ARISE
Players rate it 87 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 75 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 6 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 1,040 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

The characters clearly have feelings for each other, and the game spends the entire damn time teasing those relationships, but barely ever actually does anything with them. The one couple that finally gets together is basically confirmed through a few pictures during the...

's okay. Story was not well told and there's way too much pointless talking. Combat was fun enough, with enemy hp being slightly too high.
I'll begin with, if you're a Tales of games fan I would suggest this game to play. If you are not, I'd honestly say you could probably give this a miss. If you're looking to get into the Tales of games, this is not the one to do it with. In my opinion there are better options. In the very beginning I liked the game, but mostly just enjoying something new. By the time i finished the 1st area and moving onto the 2nd...
