You awaken in a field of snow with no memory of even your name. The local monstrosities nearly devour you before you meet your rescuer, a beautiful girl named Kuon—who has animal ears and a tail. She names you Haku⸺ The Japanese hit tactics-RPG visual novel series returns to PC at last!
The game features a tactical, turn-based RPG combat system that seamlessly integrates with the visual novel experience. When transitioning to battles, players command a party of characters on a grid-based battlefield, leveraging each unit's unique movement, attack range, skills, and "Final Strike" abilities to strategically defeat enemy forces.
Players must carefully position their party members, as enemies can exploit gaps in the formation. Each character has defined movement and attack ranges, incentivizing the player to consider how to best utilize their abilities and formations.
The combat system uses an "active time battle" approach, where each unit has an action gauge that fills over time. When a unit's gauge is full, players can input a quick-time event (QTE) to potentially trigger a critical hit. Managing action gauges and executing QTEs effectively are crucial to securing victory.
As the story progresses, players can unlock new party members, upgrade their units' equipment and skills, and rearrange formations to better counter enemy compositions. This allows for a degree of customization and strategic depth beyond the core combat encounters.
The game offers both a "Normal" and "Hard" difficulty setting. Normal mode is relatively forgiving, allowing players to freely redo their actions, while Hard mode presents a greater challenge, with enemies dealing more damage and the player's actions being more permanent.
