Overview and Gameplay
Across distant eras and unrelated heroes, separate stories unfold that eventually converge into a single hidden thread shaping humanity’s fate. Each chapter presents a self-contained scenario with its own tone, rules, and style of role-playing progression.
The structure shifts between prehistoric survival, feudal intrigue, sci-fi conflict, and modern martial arts tournaments, each introducing different mechanics rather than following a single uniform system. Tactical positioning on grid-based battlefields determines outcomes in turn-based encounters.
