Battles will be seamless and in real-time and your attack method changes depending on your distance with the enemy.

Character design will be handled by Akira “Akiman” Yasuda; who is known for his artwork in Street Fighter II, III and Alpha series and mecha design for Code Geass and Gundam Reconguista in G, Shuichi Kobayashi will be the Producer and Yoshiharu Gotanda as the Director; who directed the Star Ocean series as well as Valkyrie Profile.
