Set in an ancient mythic world, the story begins after the Jade Emperor opens the gates between heaven and earth while searching for his missing daughter. Mortals exploit the access to divine power, stirring conflict across the land. A party of four becomes involved in the struggle surrounding the gates and the forces threatening the mortal realm.
Travel through villages, varied landscapes, and other locations as the story unfolds through main quests and optional side quests. Conversations and encounters develop the party and explore clashing motives, personal bonds, and questions of duty and sacrifice.
Combat uses real-time, encounter-based battles, with party skills, special abilities, and battle formations to shape your approach. Capture demons to fight alongside the party, combine them through the demon-synthesis system, refine equipment, and use the Miracle System for attack buffs as you progress.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its Chinese mythology and setting, story and characters, and soundtrack; some also appreciate its creature-collection systems and accessible controls. Other reviewers find the combat awkward, the maps tedious to traverse, and the English localization or bugs disruptive. These reactions vary across the supplied reviews.
