Few brawlers or beat 'em ups can offer quite as much variety as Lost Judgment when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, let alone other action RPGs. The base version of the game features three unique styles, with a fourth being added through the School Stories DLC pack. Each one is well-balanced and has its own strengths and weakness, encouraging players to experiment to figure out which fighting style works best for a particular situation.
As players make their way through the game, they'll be able to unlock new skills and abilities for Tak by using the SP that they through battle. Not all of the abilities in Lost Judgment are available right away, however, with some requiring players to first acquire a special skill book. This guide will explain how to find every skill book in Lost Judgment as well as the skills and abilities that each one unlocks.
