The 3rd Birthday

Action RPG with third-person shooting where you control Aya Brea fighting through combat scenarios. The core mechanic, Overdive, lets you jump between allied soldiers mid-battle, taking direct control of their positions and weapons. This means you're constantly switching bodies to flank enemies or grab better vantage points rather than staying locked to one character. Uses an over-the-shoulder camera for aiming and movement. Combat mixes real-time gunplay with tactical decisions about which ally to possess next. You'll unlock different outfits for Aya that visibly damage as fights wear on. Square Enix built this as a narrative-driven shooter with RPG progression systems layered in. If you want third-person action that breaks the single-protagonist mold, the body-swapping hook delivers something different.
