About the Game

About this game:

This game is a Soul-like swordplay game where you fight from morning to night, switching between two characters depending on the situation.

As a knight employed by a futuristic city, you need to fight smartly and avoid taking as much damage as possible in order to get a good evaluation.

The evaluation from the company is very strict, so if you do not fight seriously for one day, you will be fired and the game will be over.

When night falls and the day ends, the company will evaluate your battles for the day. If your evaluation is B or higher, you will continue to be employed, but if it is below that, you will be fired and the game will be over.

If you continue to be employed, you will then fight a boss enemy.

Repeat this for five days, and defeat the boss enemy on the fifth day to reach the ending.

At the start of a stage, you first select one of ten cards.

Cards increase or decrease stamina (enemy/player), increase or decrease attack power (enemy/player), and double (halve) experience point gain. There are ten types of cards in total. The enemy/player's status will change according to the content of each card.

One of the two characters is always selected with a blue frame around its face image. If you change the character you are controlling to the character with the blue frame, your attack power will be 1.5 times higher.

So the trick to fighting advantageously is to always select the character with the increased attack power.

Crosses (health), gears (experience points), swords (increases attack power), and triangles (increases reputation with companies) are placed randomly on the field on the mini-map.

You can obtain up to three sword marks with sword upgrades and choose from them.

Sword upgrades have a rarity and are assigned random values.

Obtaining a cross mark as a character's stamina will restore 50 health for two characters.

Do your best to fight through five days.

When this game ends, you will have to start over from the beginning, keeping only the sword upgrade item.
