Istoria is a game about strategy and Character Customisation.

The Game also features many Side and Challenge Missions to unlock more customization choices, like BluePrints with let you craft new/different Items.

Turn-Based Strategy:

Combat is Turn-Based and seperates in to stages, the Planning Phase and the Combat Phase.

Planning Phase:
Unlike in "most" Turn-based Strategy Games, you have to plan more than just on "action/attack".
This means each turn you have to plan multiple "actions/attacks“ for each of your Units should make that turn, before you enter the Combat Phase.
Units/Characters can make more than one action/attack each turn which can make a turn quite complex/difficult to plan.

Combat Phase:
If you are finished/satisfied with you Planning Phase you will end your turn starting the Combat Phase.
During the combat Phase you have no way to change you desisions and all Units/Characters will take turns to activate and use "actions/attacks“ until all activations are resolved and the next turn start.

Customize your Characters:

Every playable Character can spent upto 10 level in upto 4 Classes (you can mix/combine Classes to suit your strategy).
Classes can have a level beween 0 and 5, unlocking Skills and/or Passives with each level.
Every Character can equip atleast one Weapon, two consumable Items and one Artifacts.
While completing Missions/the Story you will also be able to choose between rewards to permanently alter/enthance your Characters.

Example Character:

For this example we will take a look at the Character Elysa, who is a Water Spirit that joins the party in Chapter 1.
After joining the party Elysa can use 4 Classes (as the game progresses she can/will unlock more).For this build we want to make her a support character.
First we will spende 8 Classlevel (Chapter 2), 5 in the Enhancer Class and 3 in the Cleric Class.
This will unlock these Skills (black) and Passives (grey).For the Weapon we equip \ which grants her the \ Skill without using the Hydromancer Class.
As an Artefact we will use \ with has a passive that grants 2 additional Skillslots, with is a perfect for a support Character with many support Skills.
As consumable Item we equipen a \ and \ (to increase her weak physical defence).For the last step we have to choose with Skill we want to equip on her Skillslots.
Every Character can choose upto 5 Skills, but thanks to the \ (Artifact) we can equip 7 Skills (8 if we count the Weapon Skill).Our Skill choices are:
\ a basic holy attack spell.
\ a holy healing spell.
\ a spell to remove magical effects.
\ a buff spell that increases damage done.
\ a buff spell that increases defences.
\ a buff spell that reduces damage take to 0 for one turn.
\ a buff spell that increases actionpoint regeneration.
\ a cold spell that deals damage and slows enemy units.

And the Passives are:
\ Elysas Character Passive that can incresse the effect of Attack, Buff and Healing Skills, but only after using a Skill of the other type.
\ the Spirit Race Passive, this will restore mana (party) if this unit dies.
\ incresses healing.
\ incresses mana regeneration.
\ incresses buff/debuff durations.
