Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this fantasy fighting game, champions summoned from different worlds are thrust into an endless divine conflict between the forces of harmony and discord. Relying on fragments of their shattered memories, players must battle as these warriors in a desperate bid to end the war and find a way back home. However, they must fight against all odds in a tragic, perpetual struggle where ultimate victory may be impossible to achieve.
Story
The Divine Conflict
The divine conflict between harmony and discord rages on, the fate of the world its promised prize. Fighting to secure it are brave souls summoned for that solitary purpose.
These champions are cut from cloth different from those which form the fabric of our world.
The Endless Battle
These warriors from afar are helpless but to do as bid, waging battle after endless battle for the gods who called them here, granted neither respite nor reprieve.
Relying on what fragments of their shattered memories remain, they fight to end the conflict, and for a chance to return home to the worlds they each once knew.
What they cannot know is that they fight in vain. This war is one without end, and it is their fate to serve forever, until, at last, their ebbing strength gives way...

Some attacks link into combos with an additional button press. When caught in your opponent's combo attacks, you can activate EX Revenge to free yourself from the barrage.

Some attacks that knock your opponent into the air allow you to press the Ⓧ button to chase your opponent and continue your attack. After chasing down an opponent, pressing either the Ⓞ or ▢ button will deliver another attack.
