The player is given the ability to create and command squads, which after enough time, will become an army capable of destroying the world he or she is trying to save. Instead, the player is expected to build and train an army of units capable of handling whatever comes his or her way, relying on Gig's powers as little as possible. When the game begins, the player chooses the gender and name of the main character, a change from other Nippon Ichi games.Īt the very beginning of the game the main character can become powerful enough to destroy even the final boss, but relying on Gig too much would be the equivalent of just letting the world be destroyed. Critics positively received the game's story for its originality, but it was criticized for its lack of gameplay depth compared to other Nippon Ichi titles.Ī key element of the game is customization, as the game is a strategy role-playing game, much like the majority of Nippon Ichi Software's games, giving the player many more options to choose from when progressing through the story. Gig, now sealed forcibly within Revya, is begrudgingly forced to lend them his power, although he attempts to tempt Revya down the path of evil. The game centres around the adventures of Revya, the gender-selectable silent protagonist, to defeat several sentient magical weapons, called the World Eaters, that were once commanded centuries earlier by Gig, the godlike 'Master of Death'. It was later ported to Steam and Nintendo Switch (as part of the Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 1 compilation) and released worldwide in the August of 2021.
