Rave Master takes place in a world where two types of stones hold great powers: Shadow Stones, which grant powers of darkness, and Rave Stones, which grant powers of hope. 50 years ago, a great battle took place that destroyed a large portion of the planet and scattered the stones all over the globe. Now, a group of youngsters are searching for the Rave Master stones, but things are never as easy as they seem.
The game is based on the manga and anime series created by Hiro Mashima, and it's an action fighting game similar to Power Stone or Poy Poy.

The game offers several modes of play, including story mode, where you choose one of five characters and play through their story; VS mode, where up to four players fight with various rules; and free mode, where the goal is to survive through a series of stages.
