With a gameplay style similar to titles liek Parasite Eve, players are able to roam around an environment before engaging in battles with different enemies on screen, transitioning to a separate field of battle.

Unfortunately, the game will not be available in all regions due to licensing and copyright issues. This includes Canada, Mexico, and a few nonspecified countries in Europe.
