Survive Queen's Domain's Neasied with these newbie tips

Queen's Domain is a retro-fantasy action RPG from Future Friends Games that strands you alone on the monster-infested isle of Neasied, available today on Xbox Series X|S. You'll need wits as well as strength to survive in this twisting, secretive world. The Future Friends team has assembled a list of top tips for newly minted warriors, so read on if you don't want to end up as meat for the worms.

Your Sword Is Much More Than a Weapon

If you think a sword can only be helpful for fighting monsters, think again! In Queen's Domain, your sword is as much for traversing the world and platforming as it is for fighting. Practice “dashing” with your holy sword, and soon you'll be able to reach faraway places.

Each Battle Is a Dance

Those who swing their weapons around wildly won't last long on Neasied. If you are careless and don't pay attention to the rhythms of your opponents, you'll be defeated by even the most trifling of enemies. Watch carefully to learn their attack patterns, study the bestiary to learn their weaknesses, and make sure you use the right weapon for each encounter. Preparation is everything!

Curiosity Pays

Queen's Domain is designed to reward curiosity. Taking the path less trodden can lead you to hidden treasures, secret paths, and much more. If you're ever really stumped, here's a top tip: the dead sometimes leave hints for the living.

Keep Your Eyes Open

Enemies can come at you from any angle, and often when you least expect it. Equip your favourite throwable weapon before venturing out into the world, and always look around you for potential threats, both around and above you. Blundering into open spaces is a quick way to a grisly end.

Your Weapons Level Up Too

The more you practice with a weapon, the more powerful it becomes! If you get stuck at an especially difficult place, try retracing your steps and leveling up your weapon of choice. Then you can save and return with a better chance at defeating the evils around you.

That's all the wisdom the team can offer for now. Queen's Domain is a labour of love from a small, passionate team, and they sincerely wish you the best of luck as you embark on this adventure.

Takeaways

• Use your sword for dashing and platforming, not just combat, to reach faraway areas.
• Watch enemy attack patterns, check the bestiary for weaknesses, and match your weapon to each encounter.
• Explore off the beaten path and look for hints when you're stuck.
• Level up your weapons by practicing with them, then retry tough spots with a stronger arsenal.
