The game plays as an isometric RPG where you explore towns freely, chatting with NPCs to advance the plot, recruit allies and purchase items. When in combat, you are transported to an isometric tile-based map where you issue orders to your characters and attempt to defeat your enemies. Terrain and elevation provide significant advantages, so correctly positioning your forces is a must.
The game features bright 2D graphics and anime-styled character designs. Depending on who you choose as your protagonist, different paths will be open to you as each has their distinct personality and guardian creature, that provides unique abilities. Also dialogue choices determine which ending you may get and whether you can recruit certain party members or not.
