What Tales of the Tempest is

Tales of the Tempest is an adventure game developed by Dimps and released in 2006. It was published by Namco Bandai Games. It is available on Nintendo DS only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Tales of the Tempest, the first Tales title for the DS concerns Caius, a boy with the ability to unleash the beast inside him, and his quest to find his true parents. The game is presented in 3D and uses a battle system similar to Tales of Rebirth. Enemies and allies are all on 3 lines, with the player switching between them at will. The Touch Screen may be used for special attacks never before seen in the Tales series, allowing lots more variety in battle. The big feature of this game is the ability for certain characters to transform into werewolves, gaining extra power and speed at the cost of techniques.
