You play as a colonist abandoned on a savage planet, forced to fight a never-ending onslaught of alien creatures. Interesting and exciting missions send you deep within the caverns that sprawl beneath the surface of Velyria. The gameplay is dungeon-crawling at its finest, with randomly generated maps for each floor in Velyria's vast subterranean network. Battles follow a turn-based battle system, creating a balance between intense strategy and hack-n-slash fun.
You can customize your characters to suit your playstyle through stat allocation, by chooosing between hundreds of weapons and equipment (which can be further customized by chip enhancements), and most importantly, through class selection.
