You can only directly control either Hijiri or Hikaru but you’re supported in battle by the main cast. The overworld is a traditional style RPG world map, while the town sections resemble the classic 16 bit era RPGs. The battle system is best compared to a turn-based fighting game, where the "rock-paper-scissors format decides the outcome". You have High, Medium and Low attacks, where Medium > Low > High > Medium. Besides these standard attacks, you can perform a variety of special attacks. Some characters are able to learn new special attacks, by either training at one of the five in-game dojos or by learning them in battle.
