It isn't a standard RPG really, it is more of a strategy, quick action, management game. Waves of monsters attack your party of three and while each side auto attacks on an active time bar, the player must make quick decisions on who to move where, what skills to level up, and which skill boosts to use in an attempt to keep your party alive until the end of each battle wave. After each battle wave there is small story segment (if one is continuing through the main campaign) and a chance to turn the last cache of items into resources for crafting better weapons and improving armor.
