Veiled Skies

Veiled Skies is a cloudpunk jRPG set in the Ezo Skydom, above the clouds, on the Edogaka Peninsula in the Kingdom of Kurozaki. Former assassin and revolutionary Rina Seiko is living peacefully as a Genji with her girlfriend, Aya Hisagawa, when she receives a letter bearing the royal seal. The Fox Empress summons Rina to retrieve the Skystone Codex, an ancient tome containing the secrets to the skies, while facing pressure from the new Minister of Defence. The Empress has a deeper reason for calling on the former hitokiri.

A conspiracy in Kurozaki

Powerful enemies from 15 years ago are seeking the Codex’s dangerous secrets. The Staten Union, which caused a civil war that nearly tore Kurozaki apart, has returned to its airspace to seek revenge. Minister of Defence Yuichi Ono uses his son Jigen as a pawn, while the arrogant self-styled “Radiant Blademaster,” Eisen Rast, is determined to defeat the strongest in the skies. Rina and her friends become entangled in a political conspiracy stretching back 25,000 years, as Rina struggles to avoid giving in to her dangerous “White Demon” persona.

Veiled Skies is part of the Kuroverse, a series set across a world of three skydoms. It takes inspiration from Granblue Fantasy.

Turn-based combat

Combat uses a system similar to Bravely Default. You can spend turns immediately for a quick victory or save them to take a more defensive approach. Combine skills and items to create more powerful abilities, build combo counts to increase damage, and exploit enemy weaknesses. Combining healing spells can also produce more potent effects. The battle system emphasizes combos and weakness exploitation, including against powerful foes.

Travel and equipment

There are no random encounters: enemies respawn when you move one screen away. You can fast travel by airship or warp crystal, and equip weapons that grant unique Soul Urges. Mix and match equipment to make the most of these abilities.

Difficulty and other features

Difficulty settings can be changed using an in-game item. The game also includes full healing on level-ups, 50% EXP for knocked-out characters, auto-battling and auto-saving. The story offers 10–12 hours of content.
