Gameplay

The game is "2.5D" - it is played in two-dimensions, but uses three-dimensional polygonal character models except that the frames are edited to emulate the style of 2D sprites. Like Guilty Gear, the game uses unusual-looking characters, different setting, and each round acts as a chapter, making it more of a fantasy chapter book.

Arcade version (2007)

The game runs on Taito's Type X2 hardware and is the first game to use Taito's Vewlix arcade cabinet, which allows the game to run in resolutions as high as 720p.

Console version (2008)

Port

The game was ported on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 systems and released in Japan on May 29th, 2008.

Trial Version

A playable demo for the PlayStation 3 was made available in the Japanese and Hong Kong PlayStation Stores on May 1, 2008.
