Tales of the World: Dice Adventure is a web browser-based board game in the Tales series of video games.[2] It was released on April 26, 2012, in Japanese language only, though it is playable in any region with a Namco Bandai ID.[1]
Gameplay
The game plays as a roleplaying game and board game hybrid.[3] The player rolls virtual dice to determine how much a character moves across the board.[1][4] Through the course of traversing the board, the player can form parties with other characters, experience story events, and even participate in battles.[5] As with all of the games in the Tales of the World subseries, the game is a crossover video game, containing many characters from the main series of Tales video games.[1] The characters are presented in a cutesy, "chibi" style, reminiscent of how Final Fantasy characters were recreated for the Nintendo 3DS video game Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.[5]
The game follows the free-to-play business model,[6] where the game allows a player to play entirely for free, but with the option of buying in-game items with real-life money.[3] The only requirement is to have, or sign up for, a Bandai Namco ID, to sign in to the game.[1] Additionally, Namco Bandai separately released snack food for purchase that contained serial codes for downloading additional content to the game.[1]
The game received special animation created by production studio A-1 Pictures, the same studio has made videos for the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona, Valkyria Chronicles, and The Idolmaster series of video games and anime.[3][7]
Development
The game was first revealed in December 2011, both at the Jump Festa event, and in the respective issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump.[5][8] The game initially set towards a "Spring 2012"[4] release window before ultimately being released on April 26, 2012.[1] The game also offers Smartphone support.[8][8]
