Neopets: The Darkest Faerie is an action-adventure game for PlayStation 2 where players control Tor and Roberta, two Neopets on a mission to thwart evil forces. Players can switch between them to utilize Tor's melee combat or Roberta's ranged spells. The game features character progression through magical items, puzzles, side quests, and battles against adversarial Neopets.
Players control Tor and Roberta, two animal-like Neopets on a quest against evil. By switching between the two at any time, players can use Tor's up-close melee attacks or cause damage from afar with Roberta's spells. This game stays faithful to the traditional third-person action-adventure. Magical items and weapons gained along the way will develop the characters' abilities and strengths. In particular, elementally-aligned motes can be attached to weapons and armor as a combat bonus. There are many puzzles and side-quests along the way, and players will fight evil Neopets.
