Contrary to often popular opinion, Warriors titles aren't strictly button mashers. Alongside their hack and slash action, all of Omega Force's properties feature numerous role-playing game elements, and Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below is no different.

Such mechanics are a snug fit for the spin-off, since Square Enix's stellar series is one of the biggest RPG franchises in existence. You can get a good look at many of these elements in the video that we've embedded, in which the publisher talks us through the various ways that you can develop your party of playable characters. Whether it's crafting new gear with alchemy or applying straightforward buffs to your fighters with the skill system, it seems as though there's plenty of content to get stuck into.

Can you see yourself maxing out your party when the game launches next week? Pump some skill points into the comments section below.
