Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have played most of the tales games and this is definitely one of the best. I highly recommend it if you are into jrpgs or just the tales series.

Took this chance to pick up a tales series game, and was not disappointed. The gameplay is great and the characters are quite memorable. Really enjoying it.

Bought this originally on the 360, again on the xbox one and now the switch. Only this time as a gift for a friend who never got the chance to play it.

This is still the best in the series. Remember playing on Xbox 360 and I couldn’t believe it was Xbox exclusive but not everyone gets to enjoy the game.

This is such a great buy. Brings back memories from when I originally played this on xbox360. So glad to have a portable version of the game.

Amazing to get this game brand new and play it and I love being able to play older games with giant Graphical updates and beautiful worlds amazing

Great RPG if you are looking for different combat system, that you input the commands and then select characters to follow with different artes.

This is a classic in 2008 it was a beautiful game now is still holds well in terms of gameplay and history totally worth buying for the switch

If you are a fan of the tales series this game is for you. By far one of the best of the series. My son is so addicted to it

Played this one a long time ago but never beat it, had a great time before and having a awsome time now plus having it on the go priceless.

All in all this is a great version of an already great game. There are some framerate hiccups here & there, but nothing substantial.

Tales of Vesperia finally hits another console after so many years. This game is amazing for on the go is even better!

This is the best Tales game out there and it’s great to be able to ply this game on the go. Great campaign, story and combat system

This game is fantastic. If you’re a fan of anime styled RPGs or the Tales Of series in general, this purchase is a no brainer.

I have played many games in the Tales series and I was excited to try this one out after hearing that it's considered "one of the best," but my experience with it so far has been a mixed bag. I find the story and some of the characters just interesting enough to be compelled to keep playing, but the battle system is frustrating enough at times to make me consider selling it. The battle system is not as convoluted as some of the later entries in the series, but some battles, particularly boss battles can be infuriating. This game is not a button masher so you can't expect to just waltz into battle and bash everything into oblivion. It does take some strategy and quick reflexes to dodge/block enemy attacks as well as good timing to chain combos together. However, despite knowing this, there are still things that make me want to pull my hair out: 1. Your attacks miss semi-frequently even when you're using the control stick to aim your attacks. 2. Despite my efforts to roam around and strategically avoid enemy attacks, it feels like the character I'm controlling has a target on his head and most of the enemies seem to gang up on me and disrupt my attacks/combos. Blocking doesn't seem to do much when you're surrounded by multiple enemies because they will just tag-team your butt as soon as you stop blocking. 3. There are huge spikes in the difficulty level with many bosses. The only way I've been able to get past many of them is by setting the game to "easy" mode. 4. Some of the characters are really slow in battle. They move slow, their attacks are slow and they are slow to get up when knocked down. 5. Skills. You earn lots of skills and you have to equip your skills using your skill points in order to use them. The problem I have is that you earn very few skill points (at least early on) and there are many skills I'm not using because they require a lot of skill points, thus limiting my options to use other skills. It seems like this could have been balanced better. I wouldn't recommend this game unless you're a die-hard fan of the Tales games, you like a challenge, or you can get paste the things that have frustrated me.

If you've never played a Tales game this one is great. I can't wait for Tales of Symphonia Definitive Edition on Switch soon!

Decent port and didn't notice many issues throughout my time playing. Would definitely recommend this if you are a fan of the series and want to have it portable!

Tales of Vesperia is a great entry point into the franchise with a fantastic story and great characters.

One great game ported to the switch, if you like the tales series this one is a must have and portable is really great plus.

You don't have to be a Final Fantasy game to be a great RPG. Any switch owner who likes RPG's should definitely play this.
