Set in that devastated planet and space,A serious and deep storyis being spun.
humanity is“Chaos Zero” projectHowever, during the battle, the character's spirit collapses due to stress.Past memories come back as traumaSometimes.
theTrauma productionA lot of attention has been paid to the character's normal appearance and when the trauma is triggered.The visual gap is hugemy heart aches while playing it.
In addition to the beautiful girl's trauma, what really hurt my heart was Owen's collapse…
I can't handle this all by myself, so I'm going to take you along with me to the trauma gap…
▲The top picture is Owen in his normal state, and the bottom picture shows him having a mental breakdown when he is in a difficult situation in battle. It's quite painful to see my friends like this…
thisfeeling of hopelessnesswhat do you think? Characters are in this state when they are in a pinch, so we worry about them and whether they can win in battle.I get irritated because of the double, thinking, “Oh no, what should I do?”.
By the way, in this situationThat character will be unable to attack.Therefore, you will be at a disadvantage unless you use a special card to overcome it quickly.
However, this reactionHumanity's despair when the earth is covered in chaosis conveyed realistically. My conscience hurts, but“Yandere”/”Sickly cute”It is overflowing with excess. in short,

Super gorgeous cut-in production! A battle system where the battle situation changes every time you fight depending on your deck build.
The battle of this work isTurn-based battle using cards. before the battleCreate 3 charactersThen, when your turn begins, the cards in your hand will be displayed (the basic number of cards in your hand is 5).
The contents of the card areDepends on the characterIn addition to attack cards that simply cause damage,Skill cards that apply a shield and enhancement cards that increase the power of attacksThere are various types such as.
At the bottom of the screen are the items that can be used for that turn.“Action Point”is displayed and the card isEach has a cost. While watching the battle situation,Select a card within the available action pointsThe basic thing is to activate it.
The order in which you activate the cards determines the outcome! The match starts from the formation before the battle.
first,The battle begins with the formation before the battle.Let's choose three people with this in mind.
The card isOwned by each characterSince it is a thing, although it is displayed randomly during battle, depending on the characterYou can predict what cards will come out..
Of courseCards that are not owned by the character you created will not appear.So, for example, if no character has a recovery card, they will not be able to recover during that battle.
▲You can check the cards that character owns from the character details screen. Let's figure out what kind of attacks and skills it can do.
▲The organization is not done well, and the only cards that can be used are shield skills. This way, you can't inflict damage on your opponent.
At first, I didn't think much about it, just looked at the attributes, and created a group of characters with advantages, but the characters that were good at shield skills were the ones with the most advantageous characters.lack of firepowerThis situation has arisen.
That's why I have extra action points.I only have the shield activation skill at hand.that turn isCan't damage enemiesThis situation also occurred.
▲A combo that first generates a “Shadow Dagger” and then deals damage to the opponent equal to the number of “Shadow Daggers”. It is extremely important to consider the order in which you use the cards and proceed strategically.
Furthermore, even with the same card hand,order of usebyDamage dealt varies.
Depending on the cardSomething that increases the amount of damage for a specific characteretc., and it cannot be used even if it is used at the end of the turn.Activate first and thenBy inflicting damage with attack cardsbenefit for the first time.
“Character formation” and “order of using cards”these two pointsImportant points that determine victory or defeatThat's what it means.
In the mode that challenges “Chaos”, the map changes every time! Roguelike elements that will make you want to try again and again
Mode to challenge “chaos”So the map changes every time.roguelike elementshas been incorporated.
Different events occur depending on the path you takeIn addition to battle and recovery areas, you can receive equipment that can add status and passive effects, and receive new cards.random eventoccurs.
▲I went down the path where random events occur. Choose “Put your hand on the blood stone” in the middle, and instead of getting inspiration (a new card), you will also get a curse card. I definitely don't want to pull it.
▲Gyaaaah, a cursed card appeared… You will receive 15% damage just by holding it, so use it as soon as possible, even though it costs a lot.
In this mode, the first three members formed,Continue until the final bossIt happens.There are also limited spots where you can recover.So, if you don't have a healer in your party, things will get tough in the middle.
There are times when you will be wiped out on the way and the quest will fail,There is a realization and learning about “what I should have done differently”So,“Next time, let’s proceed with this strategy.”I want to try different strategies.
In addition, the cards and equipment obtained through this chaos exploration areCan be saved as “save data”other than this modeCan also be used for other content.
Even if it gets wiped out on the way,If it has progressed beyond a certain levelIt is possible to save save data.
Go around that save data and do your best to develop your character,Take on the challenge of more difficult chaos explorationObtain even more powerful save data,Utilize it in other contentYou can play with this cycle for a long time.
The displayed cards change depending on the formation, and the map changes each time you play.I can take on challenges with a new feeling every time.I never get tired of it. I want to play it over and over againExtremely addictiveis.
