Gameplay[]
Players are tasked with creating a trio of characters to deploy in missions. Multiple teams may be organized to take advantage of the title's various modes such as Campaign or Conquest. While team combinations are left to the player's own discretion, a balanced party is recommended for clearing the earlier parts of the game.
Battles and challenges earn action points, which can be restored through meat buns or real-time waiting. Clearing missions earns experience, unlocks new content, and increases energy stock points.
Items and officers can be bought at the market with coins or ingots earned by the player, though limited free draws are available everyday. Note that the results of each purchase are varied and often require in-game transactions. In addition to money and valor, fame is also earned if the player joins a guild.
Combat controls involve flicking the touchscreen, with skill icons activating combos and maneuvers. Players must breach defenses first by depleting their shield gauge, making targets vulnerable to damage. Officers have elemental attributes they are weak or strong against, similar to Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce. This mechanic becomes more relevant in difficult missions, forcing players to swap team members.
Other battle features include a camera angle button (which zooms the screen in three different ways) and an auto-battle function. Players and guild members can interact with one another by using the main menu's chat room system. Currently, the game has eleven different language packs.
Modes[]
Campaign[]
Story-driven scenarios divided into several sub-missions with different objectives; clearing one unlocks the next. Missions with multiple tasks will have the player's destination be indicated by a compass arrow. While battles are timed, failure only occurs if the whole team or an important ally is defeated.
Missions have optional goals that earn stage stars, unlocking prizes based on difficulty level. Players can select a character as an assisting member, exchanging gifts and battle points. Campaign stages offer unique rewards, while normal rewards are randomized. Updates include a battle loop feature and raid options, with manual control possible if AI struggles.
