Real-time decision making
Using a day/night cycle and creatively blending multiple genres from action-adventure to real-time strategy to tower defense, the title promises to test players’ strategic and decision-making skills. During the day, they’ll explore the village, purify “defiled” villagers, assign them various roles, and choose where to place them to best protect Maiden Yoshiro. During the night, the Seethe emerge to attack the mountain. Upgrade villagers’ roles to gain more support and give orders to the villagers as you fight alongside them to defeat the enemy and purify each village. Luckily, when the strategy doesn’t work out right, you’re free to reset the upgrades and distribute them to other roles, and even upgrade our protagonist with new attacks and skills to define his strategies however you like.
