About the Game

Take up arms against the Beasts with impactful and gratifying back-and-forth combat. Use the Guardians' diverse abilities and skills to land exciting Critical Hits, causing the party to enter the Inspired state for 3 turns where they are faster, deal more damage, and are resilient to negative statuses. You'll know you've landed a Critical Hit when a character cuts in, and the music ramps up in volume and intensity!

  • Unique character Skills and Guardian Abilities

  • Class Progression and unlocking New Classes

  • Dynamic Music in battle

  • Dungeon Exploration

Experience the stories of a people born in perpetual servitude towards one goal: defeating the Beasts. For as long as we can remember, the Beasts have risen from the mountains, and for as long as we can remember, we have deigned to destroy them. With a seemingly never-ending struggle, what can keep you going?

World and Narrative
