The continent of Zoamand, the land of antiquity that is called the "birthplace of the world." In this land, a war has raged for hundreds of years, as countless tribes and warlords fought to unify the midlands and claim supreme dominion. Their rule has become so weak and fragmented from constant battle that they now rely on mercenary armies to fight for them, and any hope of the war's end is a distant dream.
Amidst the turmoil of this conflict, we find the young sword maiden Raine, would-be princess of a fallen kingdom, and her sworn retainer Bishop, both reduced to the life of blades-for-hire. That would change, however, when they undertook a certain mission - a mission which by all accounts appeared routine, but would set in motion a sprawling tale of conspiracy, heroism, faith, devotion, and even the nature of reality itself.
Embrace the heresy that liberates humanity. Shine the light of truth on the world.
Conquer challenging, tactical grid-based combat encounters
Enjoy battle stages set in diverse, hand-crafted 3D environments in which every aspect of the terrain can influence movement. Passing through water will leave soldiers soaked, encumbering movement. High elevation may extend the range of an archer's bow, but also allow put them at risk of being thrown to a swift end. Position your units carefully, utilize the turn order strategically, and vanquish your enemies.
Master the Cross Paradigm class system and create the ultimate army
Strategic character customization is central. Create unique, specialized soldiers by combining three types of class: Forma, Paradigm, and Discipline. Then, choose from a huge selection of possible abilities to bring to battle - whether it's familiar tactics like healing magic or stealth, or obscure arts like monster taming, alchemy, item trading, possession, philosophy, or the aristocratic art of Money Skills. The Cross Paradigm system creates a true playground of opportunities for customization.
Support your teammates with Link Reactions and turn the tide of battle
The commands you choose each turn are only half the battle. By positioning units strategically, you can enable Link Reactions: support skills between allies that trigger when the right conditions are met. Link Reactions are capable of many possible effects: automatically recover an ally's wounds after they're damaged, enchant their weapon as they attack, accelerate the casting speed of their spells, and much more. Build the bonds of camaraderie between your army to utilize Link Reactions to their fullest!
