Blade

The game is an RPG, with 3-D battlefields and a "Crafting" system where players can combine items to create a more powerful weapon.

The game will store their combinations for future reference as well and supports up to four players on a networking system.

Common to the genre, battles take place in closed off environments, but they are not triggered at random.

Colored skulls floating around in the environment lead to battles and based on the color the toughness of the encounter is announced.

These skulls can decide to chase the player or back off when they are not strong enough and go look for reinforcements.

The turn-based battles are based on a timing system where actions can be formed when an activity circle fills up.

Time does not stop however, so actions need to be selected quickly.

Weapons wear off and a Lunar Gauge can be filled up to get access to special abilities, affecting a single character or the entire group.

This technique is used by the opponents as well.
