They wake up on a planet called Protolexa, where they’ll come into conflict with other gods.
Combat consists of a strategic combo system where each character’s attack corresponds to a button, and executing bigger combos results in more damage dealt to opponents. Mixing attacks and changing your party formation alters your skill development, as well.
