Trials of Themis

This game was developed by the Big Data Lab as a simulation for the bar exam.

Trials of Themis is a game mode similar to regular stages where players progress through levels of increasing difficulty in an 8-bit art style.

Overview

Unlike regular game modes, each level consists of two parts: A debate stage and a rewards portion.

The first wave will consist of two Typhoeus' Pitfall and an NPC. Selecting the NPC bring up the menu to start a debate stage. The debate stage is similar to other debate stages, where players use their cards to defeat the opponent's argument. Defeating the opponent rewards S-Chips depending on how high the stage level is.

The second wave contains rewards, giving the player a choice between three different chests. These chests may contain Stellin x1400, Oracle of Justice II x6, or a Trials of Athena chest.

The Trials of Athena chest will ask the player a question and three possible answers. Answering correctly will give the player both Stellin x1400 and Oracle of Justice II x6, while answering incorrectly will give the player nothing.

Playing through Trials of Themis will also unlock various difficulties for Temple of Trials.

Dialogue

Area 1 (Prologue; Palos)

"Zeus… I’ll be back!"

Typhoeus spat out black smoke as his gigantic body sublimated into thin air.

However, the evil aura that Typhoeus left behind enveloped the land and corrupted the minds of humans. The gods of Olympus were next to succumb, and their lands fell into darkness.

To prevent Typhoeus' resurrection and to save Olympus, Gaia came to the reincarnated Themis in her dreams.

"Go save the world, my child!"

"Let the light of justice cleanse all evil!"

So, with the blessing of Gaia, you wake up on a small islet. The waters of the Aegean Sea gently splash against your hands.

You raise your head and gaze at the horizon.

Under the azure sky, a lone temple is surrounded by a blazing inferno.

"Vengeance! Vengeance!"

The shouts of the pirates pierce through the air. Their every word stings your nerves.

You hear a voice speaking to you:

"Embark, brave warrior!"

"Rip through the darkness and let the light of Zeus shine upon this land once again!"

DAVIS: Enemy sighted! You’ll encounter many kinds of enemies. Select an enemy to start debating! Obtained stage rewards are kept in [the bag]. You’ll receive them after clearing the stage.

Area 2 (Coast of Naxos)

You have arrived at the coast of Naxos at sunrise.

The sun goes beyond the limits of the coastline, and its golden rays shine upon the grand temple at the highest point of the central city.

"Is that it?"

You squint a little for a better look, feeling excited.

"Before that...”

Your gaze falls to the crumpling castle nearby. You can't help but sigh.

You can see a few injured travellers coming toward you from the end of the forest, physically supporting each other.

They slow down their pace and speak to you in a sincere tone.

"Young one, don't continue forward. A defected Spartan Warrior occupy the castle. He won't let you pass even if you give then all your gold."

"Huh… Looks like it’s a Spartan Warrior in the castle this time..."

You do a little warm up exercises, ready to go.

That voice sounds in your ear again.

"Forward, brave warrior!"

“Rip through the darkness and let the light of Zeus shine upon this land once again!"
