Collector interest
The Japanese version of DewPrism, Square's charming action RPG known in the West as Threads of Fate, built on two heroes with intertwined adventures and a colorful cartoon style. An endearing but quiet work in Square's late-PlayStation catalogue, it enjoys loyal demand from fans of polished Japanese RPGs. Desirability rests on its cult aura as an underrated gem and on interest in the original Japanese version.
An underrated gem
A little-known action-RPG from Square, it offers two heroes with separate campaigns — a treasure hunter and a shape-shifting boy — in a colorful world with fairy-tale charm. Released between two of the studio's juggernauts, it kept a low profile. Its transformation system and dual storytelling make it a sparkling adventure for fans of light action-RPGs.
Is DewPrism still worth playing in 2026?
A Square action RPG known in the West as Threads of Fate, DewPrism offers two heroes with interwoven scenarios, Rue and Mint, and three dimensional action gameplay tinged with platforming. The shimmering art direction, the humour and Rue's transformation power give the title a rare freshness. The combat stays simple and the lifespan short per character. A charming action RPG to recommend for fans of late PlayStation Square and light, colourful dual narratives.
