Instead, it uses real time action, similar in nature to the popular game Diablo or Record of Lodoss War (the latter also by Neverland).
The game features a variety of weaponry inspired by the medieval era, magic, and a collection of skills that can be improved upon for the main character.
Journeying home, he hopes to achieve his dream, not realizing that it is only the beginning of an adventure that will take him and his friends across the world to stop the return of evil.
However, only the main character (Max) can develop his skills outside of his initial starting role to encompass a larger selection of abilities.
The Japanese release includes the opening theme "Zetsubou to Kibou" [絶望と希望] (or if translated, "Despair and Hope") performed by Ai Kawashima, previously half of musical duo "I WiSH".
