The game is scheduled to be released on Xbox Series X|S, Windows, PS5, PS4, Steam on Friday, October 11, 2024, and supports Traditional Chinese and other languages.

Command Combat Evolution System "Quick Battle & Squad Battle"

The battle of this game, through a system called "Speed & Squad Battle", allows players to play maze battles that have not been experienced in command combat until now. The ability to switch between "quick combat", which allows you to attack enemies directly while moving through the maze, and "Squad combat", which allows you to fight through command combat.


Fairy eye

The "Goblin eye" is the ability of the protagonist's partner, the goblin Carrie Card, to sense the surrounding situation and understand the danger of the enemy. Knowing the strength of the monsters lurking in the dangerous maze, you can differentiate the battle mode appropriately.


Rapid warfare

"Quick combat" is an effective way of fighting against enemies who have already fought and are weaker than us. On the battlefield, you can use locking, running, avoiding and other actions, while keeping an eye on the attack from the enemy, while using "quick war" to sweep the enemy in one breath, so as to smoothly explore the maze.

In addition, the attack method of "quick battle" will vary depending on the "prototype" of the player's equipment, and finding a "quick battle" mode that suits you can also help navigate the maze.


Small unit warfare

Enemies that appear in yellow and red under Carrie's goblin Eye ability represent monsters that are dangerous to the main character's party. If you use "quick war" to deal with the strong enemy will not be able to contend with it, so you need to use "squad war" command combat to correspond. In addition, the first "quick war" attack the enemy to make the enemy into a coma, you can enter the battle situation to our advantage of the command combat mode.


Command combat

In this game's command battle, the team can be composed of up to 4 members. The number of members who can join the team increases to a maximum of 7 as the series progresses, so each character's personality can be used to form various teams. In general command combat, players need to choose actions from multiple commands, but this game can select commands with one click, so the rhythm of the battle is very smooth.

In the command battle, the protagonist can "transform" by awakening the "prototype". "Prototypes" have their own special power "skills", equipped with "prototypes" that can attack enemy weaknesses "skills", can turn the battle in our favor.

At the same time, all kinds of "prototypes" have very rich characteristics, and there are also good, bad/favorable and unfavorable conditions. In the command battle, the team formation is the key to the maze, in addition to the command battle can also decide whether to give the action order to the next member, replace the front and back queues, replace the team members in the battle and other options, testing the player's ability to see the battle situation and use a variety of tactics.

In addition, the game has deliberately increased the difficulty of the battle, which is to let the player fully feel the tension of deliberate choices in the command battle, and get more sense of accomplishment when the battle victory, so the special design. However, the difficulty level of the game can be changed at any time, and it also provides a variety of convenient features to help combat, so players can play the game to suit their own playing style.

A maze full of powerful enemies

Luring travelers into the maze of death

On their journey to become the new king, the group will encounter many dangerous mazes. Although the maze has strong enemies and a variety of organs that prevent the player from reaching the destination, there are also high-priced treasures and powerful weapons, which naturally have the value of allowing people to challenge regardless of danger.

The mazes in this game are divided into two types, including the "main maze" that must be challenged to advance the plot, and the "secondary maze" that can be challenged, and the number is also very rich.

Make the hidden hero image "prototype" wake up and fight

What is "prototype"?

When the hero and his entourage face their own insecurity, bond with the followers and establish a relationship of trust, the power of the "archetype" representing the heroic image can be awakened. After the "prototype" awakens, the protagonist and his party will "transform" into the "prototype" posture they are equipped with in the command battle.

Prototypes are very diverse, with different capabilities and characteristics. From the "explorer" who can basically carry out all-round combat, the "magician" who can really attack the enemy's weakness with attack magic, to the "thief" who is good at robbing, and so on, there are various "archetypes". Which "archetypes" to awaken, how to form a team, and so on, the game is full of elements that make players think carefully about how to create a strong team.


Teams & "Prototype" formations

Team formation

The team members who act with the hero have diverse personalities. Depending on the prototype that the team members have, and the combination between the members, will greatly affect the strategic content of the command battle.

"Prototype" grouping

After party members awaken the new "prototype", they are free to equip the awakened "prototype". By analyzing the abilities of the maze and the enemies and equipping them with "prototypes" suitable for the current situation, even the stronger enemies will become able to compete with them.

Bonding with "followers" will become strength

Forge bonds and gain followers

The protagonist will meet all kinds of people on his journey. Some of these people can become "followers" who support the hero by forming bonds and deepening relationships with him. Deepening the bond with followers not only awakens the "archetype" but also acquires a variety of abilities, so communication with followers is also an important element of travel.


Follower's story

Communicating with followers unlocks the followers' side stories, allowing them to experience the story more deeply. Followers have their own different stories and backgrounds, in addition to the main story in this game, promoting the story of followers is also a major charm. It's up to the player to decide which followers they want to communicate with first. This will have a big impact on how travel is spent, how teams are nurtured, and how stories are experienced.
