The game tells the story of a world divided by a war between humans and demons. Like Shining Force Neo, the gameplay is in the vein of the popular game Diablo or Record of Lodoss War for the Dreamcast (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 characters. | The game tells the story of a world divided by a war between humans and demons.

|Description= | |Description=On older PCSX2 versions, the game would destroy its own save file after clearing the final boss. Allegedly this could destroy the entire memory card, however testing suggests this only affected the game's own files. The issue was due to improper handling of memory card write commands, causing only a portion of the intended data to be saved. Others suggest this could occur anywhere in the game, but tests suggest saving after the final boss was the main failure point. | ||
