What Kind of Game Is The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin?
The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is an open-world action RPG with multiplayer elements, inspired by the anime and manga universe of The Seven Deadly Sins.
Players explore Britannia, complete story quests, fight bosses, solve puzzles in dungeons, and build a team of heroes with different abilities and combat styles.
The game launched first on PC and PlayStation on March 16, while the mobile version for Android and iOS releases on March 23.
Understanding the Story and World
The story revolves around a mysterious relic known as the Star Book, a powerful artifact capable of connecting countless timelines.
The relic begins to distort reality and transport characters across different eras, creating chaos across Britannia.
The protagonist of this new journey is Tristan, the son of Meliodas, who becomes linked to the power of the Star Book and must travel across the world to restore balance.
Throughout the adventure, players will explore major locations such as:
- The Kingdom of Liones, ruled by Meliodas and protected by Holy Knights
- The Fairy King’s Forest, governed by King and Diane
- Dragon’s Tomb, a mysterious land tied to ancient dragons
- The Desert Ruins, where forgotten kingdoms and monsters reappear
Main Characters You Can Play
The game mixes characters from the original series with new heroes created specifically for this story.
Key characters include:
Meliodas
The legendary captain of the Seven Deadly Sins. In the story, he is searching for Diane when the Star Book suddenly transports him to another timeline.
King
The Fairy King, determined to protect everyone as Arlequin.
Diane
A giant warrior falsely accused of betrayal and forced to hide in the Fairy King’s Forest.
Tristan
Chosen by the Star Book, he begins a journey to stop the chaos affecting Britannia.
Tioreh
An adventurous girl who leaves the Fairy Forest to explore the world and joins Tristan.
Clotho
A mysterious guide who appears to help the group discover the origin of the Star Book.
Combat System Explained
One of the most important mechanics in the game is its weapon-based combat system.
Every character can equip three different weapons, and switching weapons changes:
- Combat style
- Skills
- Sometimes the character’s elemental abilities
For example, Tristan can switch between:
- Dual swords for fast attacks
- A great sword for powerful strikes
- A long sword for balanced combat
Because of this system, a single character can play multiple roles, such as DPS, support, or crowd control.
Exploration and Open World Features
The world of Britannia is designed as a large open environment with many exploration mechanics.
Players can:
- Ride mounts on land
- Use flying mounts or glide through the air
- Swim and even explore underwater areas
- Capture certain creatures in the world
- Build campfires and cook food
Cooking and survival systems also appear during exploration. For example, players can place a campfire anywhere in the world and cook ingredients to create healing items or buffs.
Multiplayer and Dungeons
Unlike many RPGs, the game includes strong multiplayer systems.
Players can:
- Explore Britannia together
- Complete co-op boss battles
- Solve puzzle-based dungeons as a team
- Participate in multiplayer events
Dungeons are more complex than typical RPG encounters, often including puzzles, platforming, and teamwork mechanics.
Character Progression
Characters grow stronger through several systems:
Leveling
Completing quests and defeating enemies increases character level.
Weapon Slots
As characters progress, they unlock additional weapon slots that allow new combat styles.
Constellation-Style Upgrades
Characters can unlock powerful upgrades similar to constellations. However, unlike many gacha games, these upgrades can often be earned through gameplay instead of requiring duplicate characters.
Equipment and Crafting
Armor and clothing can be crafted and equipped. These items not only improve stats but also change the character’s appearance.
Launch Rewards for New Players
During the launch period, players can obtain large rewards, including:
- Up to 59,000 Star Fragments
- Around 90 summon tickets
- Additional event rewards through exploration and quests
These rewards allow new players to build a strong team early in the game.
Players can also redeem the launch code:
WELCOMEORIGIN
This code provides additional summon resources.
Beginner Tips to Progress Faster
Focus on the Story First
Completing main story quests unlocks new areas, mechanics, and characters.
Experiment With Weapon Styles
Because each hero has three weapon styles, testing them early helps you understand which playstyle fits your team.
Always Explore
Hidden materials, bosses, and crafting items are scattered across the map.
Use Exploration Abilities
Some characters have special abilities useful outside combat, such as faster travel or environmental interactions.
Save Summons Early
Launch rewards provide many summon resources. Saving them for stronger banners can improve your team long term.
Common Beginner Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
Ignoring Weapon Switching
Many players stick to one weapon. However, switching weapons can dramatically improve your combat effectiveness.
Solution:
Experiment with all weapon styles for each character.
Fighting Bosses Too Early
Some world bosses are extremely strong and require proper levels or teamwork.
Solution:
Join other players in co-op or return after leveling up.
Not Using Exploration Skills
Certain puzzles require specific character abilities.
Solution:
Swap characters when exploring to use their exploration skills.
Forgetting Crafting and Cooking
Food and crafted gear provide important bonuses early in the game.
Solution:
Collect materials during exploration and craft regularly.
System Requirements
The game is moderately demanding, especially on PC.
Minimum PC requirements:
- Intel i5 processor
- GTX 1060 graphics card
- 30 GB storage
Recommended:
- RTX 2070 or RX 5700
- 32 GB RAM
Mobile devices require newer hardware, such as recent flagship smartphones.
Final Thoughts
After several years of development, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin delivers a large open-world RPG experience set in one of anime’s most beloved universes.
With its weapon-switching combat system, cooperative gameplay, exploration mechanics, and deep character progression, the game offers plenty of content for both casual players and dedicated fans.
For beginners, the key is simple: explore the world, experiment with characters, and progress through the story while learning the game’s systems step by step.
