BackGuiner

The game plays as a standard isometric turn-based tactical strategy game, with the player controlling individual units and issuing commands such as to move, attack, and defend. A key mechanic is "Synchro", which determines the compatibility between a Shell and its pilot; the higher this is, the more effective the unit, and it is raised using certain techniques but can be lowered when taking damage. Characters will level up as they fight, and between missions it is possible to adjust the team's equipment loadout. Each chapter includes simple adventure parts that drive the story, with Shin speaking to the other pilots and characters in visual novel-style sequences.
