Enigma: Another Road

Enigma: Another Road is a side-game in the Enigma series. It follows the adventures of Jason, Deuce and Bella as they find themselves trapped in The Rift. The events of the game run parallel to the events of Enigma. In order to play this game, you have to beat the main game by equipping the Tomahawk, Arrow-Guns or the Metamorphosis Chakram.

Heroes

 * Jason: Jason is one of the main protagonists of Enigma: Another Road. He is appointed leader of the team after they are trapped in The Rift, but he slowly starts to crack under the pressure. He wields a Tomahawk (a blade with the swinging power of an axe) that has a chain on its end for when he wants to throw it like a flail. Jason's preferred element is Ice.
 * Deuce: Deuce is one of the main protagonists of Enigma: Another Road. He is cool-headed and when he fights, he focuses on dispatching his target as soon as possible, although he is almost the opposite when outside of battle. He wields a pair of Arrow-Guns (a gun that shoots out arrows at the speed of bullets) that can transform into a double-sided dagger. His preferred element is Lightning.
 * Bella: Bella is one of the main protagonists of Enigma: Another Road. While she appears to be a demure, kind mage, she is actually thrilled by fighting and the power that she has within her. She wields a chakram that can change into different rods and staves to enhance her magical capabilities. Her preferred element is Fire.

Villains

 * Tom: Tom is the main antagonist in the game. A powerful wizard, he guides the three heroes along in order to do his bidding. His ultimate goal is to obtain all of his power that he lost due to Albus, his rival. He is manipulative, silver-tongued and driven beyond belief.

Others

 * Albus: Albus is a powerful wizard that occasionally helps out Jason, Deuce and Bella. Years ago, he defeated Tom in a climactic battle and sealed most of his power inside four different beasts, placing those beasts inside four different palaces. However, Tom used the last of his power to transform Albus into a dragon, locking the former wizard inside a giant underground palace. Albus is able to communicate to the three heroes by manifesting his spirit.

Gameplay
Gameplay revolves around teamwork. It requires you to use all three characters to defeat dangerous enemies and prioritize effectively. Enemies in the Rift are much stronger than they are on the Planet, forcing you to make tactical decisions on who to fight and when to do it. Since there are very few towns, resource management is also a necessity.

Battle System
The battle system is the same one used in Enigma, but with a few key differences:
 * The button used for changing weapons becomes the button used to change the current character being used
 * The button used for Limit Breaks remains the same, although nobody is able to use Crisis Mode

Story
Jason, Deuce and Bella were tasked by William to do a mission. While they succeeded in doing their tasks, they were ambushed by the Old York Elite Task Force and sent to prison. While in prison, they were visited by The President, who decided to let them go, but as they were leaving the prison, The President knocked them out and sent them to his laboratory, where he flung them into his Rift Portal, trapping them in a vast desert with a purple sky.

Trivia

 * Each of the four beasts represent an element and a direction
 * The Azure Dragon is inside a wooden palace, located in the eastern-most part of The Rift
 * The Vermillion Bird is inside a fiery palace, located in the southern-most part of The Rift
 * The White Tiger is inside a metallic palace, located in the western-most part of The Rift
 * The Black Turtle is inside a watery palace, located in the western-most part of The Rift
 * There is also a Yellow Dragon, which is located in the final palace, a chaotic, unstable place in the centre of The Rift. The bottom part of the dungeon is stable, due to the power of the Dragon.
