In this science fantasy RPG, choose between Claude or Rena, play through their perspectives, and unlock various endings. Recruit allies and defeat foes in fast paced real-time battles.
Players can freely assign skill points to learn a variety of abilities, from combat skills to utility options like cooking, alchemy, and art. This robust skill system encourages experimentation, as players can develop their party members in unique ways to suit their playstyle. The crafting and item creation mechanics are equally deep, allowing skilled players to forge powerful equipment well before the expected power curve. Optimizing gear and skills can "break" the game's difficulty, providing a satisfying sense of progression and empowerment.
Battles unfold in real-time, rewarding precise timing for dodging and counterattacking. The "Break" mechanic, which staggers enemies through sustained damage, adds an engaging strategic element. Spellcasting animations now occur concurrently with the action, contributing to the fast-paced and visually striking combat.
The world is designed for thorough exploration, with secrets and optional content hidden throughout the environments. Fast travel options and the removal of random encounters streamline navigation, allowing players to efficiently access new areas. The dual protagonist system, where players can choose to follow Claude or Rena's storyline, adds replayability and encourages multiple playthroughs to experience different narrative perspectives and party member recruitment options.
