Game System - Story Mode

The left image above shows the game screen in Story Mode, where charac-ter interaction events take place throughout the game. The name of the character currently speaking will appear on the lower left side of the screen, and the transla-tion for their text will show in the attached text box. At various times, you will be presented with choices which will affect the progression of the game story. Note that you may have to select the same option multiple times for the story to progress. On-screen menu buttons are, from left to right, Exit (exits the game), Title (returns to the title screen), Opt. (displays the option menu), Log (shows the conversation to this point), Skip (displays text at the fastest possible speed), Auto (a “hands free” mode), Load (displays the load game screen) and Save (displays the save screen).

The right image above shows the game’s world map, including the town of Lake Blue and its surrounding wilderness. Navigate the map by clicking on the point of interest you wish to explore, including the town shops, inn, and tavern, as well as any dungeons you’ve discovered. Entering a shop will offer the option to buy and sell items associated with the shop type (weapons and armor, or consumable items) via the shop menu displayed at right.

Game System - Adventure Mode

Upon choosing to enter a dungeon from the world map the game switches to Adventure Mode, in which you must explore the environment, fight monsters, claim treasure and solve puzzles to defeat the dungeon bosses and uncover the secrets behind the bandit incursion of Lake Blue. Game terrain is presented in a 3D first-person perspective map, which can be navigated by using the arrow keys on your keyboard or the on-screen movement buttons.

While exploring, in addition to the story mode menu buttons there are five Adventure Mode commands accessible on the lower right. When a monster appears (either via random encounter or as a floor boss) and combat mode is engaged, a different set of combat menu options becomes available:

The left group of icons above is present on the standard Adventure Mode screen, while the right group appears when combat is engaged. From left to right, the icons call up the following menus or actions:

Game PlayLaunch the game by selecting it in the Win-

dows Start menu. The main menu options are Start (starts a new game), Continue (loads a saved game), Extras (view game CGs, listen to game music, replay favorite scenes - not accessible until game is won), Options (change game options), and Quit.

To play, choose the Start option. You take the role of Raidy, a swordfighter wandering the continent of Els in search of the secret of her past and of the mysterious power she wields over lightning. As the game opens Raidy finds herself in the oasis town of Lake Blue, hoping to relax from her earlier adventures. But when a gang of slave-trading bandits attempts to kidnap the town’s beautiful innkeeper, Raidy must spring into action! Can you wield her combination of sword, sex, and sorcery to uncover the sinster slavers’ plot and save the continent’s beautiful girls from captivity?

The Options menu, seen at right, governs the parameters of text and audio display as experienced throughout the game’s Story Mode (detailed below):

Adventure Commands• Map Display, shows or hides the on-screen dungeon minimap• Equipment Screen, allows you to view and change your equipped gear• Use Item, allows you to choose and drink potions• Events Menu, allows you to view the quest items you’ve found• Status Menu, allows you to see Raidy’s current condition (see below)

Combat Actions• Attack command, attacks with the currently equipped weapon(s)• Defend command, forfeits action for a turn to raise defense• Use Item, allows a single item to be used per turn• Flee command, attempts to escape the current combat• Thunder Slash, charge lightning power or release it in an explosive burst

In Adventure Mode, Raidy’s status is always summarized in the upper left of the screen. Details of her status are available in the Status Menu, which lists the character name, current level, Hit Points (current/maximum), Mental Points (current/maximum), Conditions (includes Normal, Poisoned, and Paralyzed), AP (attack accuracy) and DMG (attack damage rating) of both the right and left-handed weapon (if applicable), DEF (defensive rating), PP (attack speed), EXP (cur-rent experience/to next level), and currently equipped gear.

Gameplay Tips• Save early, save often! As Raidy advances, the dangers posed by dungeon

denizens and the very walls of the dungeon itself become increasingly deadly.• Carry a healthy supply of potions. They’re the only way to heal from dam-

age and poison attacks when out in the field. When your health is low, consider a night at the inn as a cheap alternative to regain lost health.

• Boss monsters require special strategies to defeat, and may be invulner-able until you learn their weaknesses. Remember though: for our protagonist Raidy, rewards come from both wins and losses.

• When all else fails, gain levels! A few stat increases can make the differ-ence between a nearly impossible encounter and one you can easily handle.
