Resonance of Fate is a role-playing game set in the future when humanity has moved to the machine-city of Basel , high up in the sky. The story follows Vashyron, leader of the PMF, and two other characters, Zephyr and Leanne, who join his group to take on missions from Basel's citizens.
The gameplay involves a unique turn-based system called tri-Attack-Battle (t-A-B) . Characters use an action gauge to perform actions like movement, charging, and attacks. However, enemies attack in real-time while the player is performing actions. Players need to build up their charge before attacking, which can be done quickly if a character is close to an enemy.
Attacks require at least one full charge to succeed and deal either non-permanent scratch damage or permanent direct damage. Special attacks, called Hero Actions , allow characters to shoot multiple times while being invincible to enemy attacks. However, these actions cost Bezels and can leave the player in Critical Condition if they run out. Hero Actions can also lead to a powerful Tri-Attack when certain conditions are met.
