The demo that I got to play gave me a chance to test out some of the advanced jobs that weren’t available in the prior demo, such as Red Mage, Monk, and Dragoon. Once you gain enough experience with a job, you'll unlock an advanced job that builds off the same playstyle, but comes with its own unique ability and a whole skill tree that adds more new powers and further improves your stats while using that job. The more you play with that job, the more you level it up, which gives you points to spend on that skill tree. When you begin the game, you’ll have access to a limited number of basic jobs that each come with their own weapon type, special move, and playstyle that gets defined by their own unique skill tree. Speaking of those jobs, let’s talk about the job system. Then there’s also an MP meter which governs your usage of special skills, along with a job system that determines what those special skills are. Enemies can be staggered as well by draining their own meters, which then opens them up to an execution. If your Soul Meter runs out, you will stagger and be completely vulnerable to enemy attacks until it fills back up, which makes it a vital meter to manage carefully. In lieu of a stamina meter is a Soul meter, which depletes as you get hit, block, or use your Soul Shield, which is a special barrier that drains the meter extremely quickly, but can absorb enemy powers and cause enemies to recoil if timed correctly. Whether or not that’s a good idea, is another story entirely. For one, there’s no stamina meter in Stranger of Paradise, so you can swing your weapon and button mash to your heart’s content without worrying about running out of stamina. While its combat may initially seem very similar to Team Ninja’s other action/soulslike, Nioh, there are actually a couple of key differences that cause the games to be played very differently. For those that didn’t get a chance to check out the first limited time demo, Stranger of Paradise is a loot driven action/soulslike where you play as a man named Jack, who as everyone knows all too well at this point, is on a mission to kill chaos.
