You play as Ryudo, a hardened mercenary whose escort assignment draws him into a journey with a growing party of companions. Their adventure leads into a conflict involving divine powers and a search for a weapon once wielded by a deity.
Battles combine turn-based commands with timing and positioning. Watch the action order, move allies around the battlefield, and interrupt enemy actions to disrupt their turns while choosing attacks, magic, and special abilities.
Explore towns and dungeons along a story-driven journey, develop the party through skills, magic, and equipment, and choose between Normal and Hard difficulty. The HD Remaster also offers Japanese audio and support for keyboard and gamepad controls.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its tactical, timing-based combat, especially the ability to interrupt enemies, alongside its story, characters, and soundtrack. Nostalgia is another recurring part of players’ affection for it.
