Gameplay
It is a 3D fighting game, which features 8 playable characters. There is also a story mode with role playing game elements.[1] Story mode includes short anime cutscenes and dialogue between battle. Defeating enemies in this mode rewards players with up to 200 potential unique items.[2]
There are several gameplay modes:
- Story Mode: The player moves across the world map as a chibi character and, upon encountering CPU characters, the scene transitions into a battle. After knocking out the last boss, Dragless, the player receives a separate ending.
- VS Mode
- Time Attack Mode (Hidden)
- Collection Mode (Hidden): This is the so-called special feature mode of the game. In this mode, the player can gain access to hidden costumes and stages by collecting various items from replaying battles. The items can be acquired through completing specific requirements (such as winning under 1 second, performing a general attack as the finishing blow, and double KO the CPU opponent) or by completing the collection of all 208 items.
