Bandai Namco is notorious for creating games based on anime/manga titles. There have been countless great gems from the publisher, some fighting games, some RPG, but they all share a common ground – they pull from the anime source.

The game is rapidly approaching its release date, which is set for January 12th. The game has garnered much interest from both gamers and fans of the franchise. The story looks promising, the gameplay looks smooth, and the characters will surely be loved! Today, the developers released a new trailer for the game, which focuses on the game’s systems. The trailer is a lengthy one, clocking in at about 11 minutes long. Viewers get a look at the turn-based battle mechanics, dramatic scene battles and learn more about the open-world aspects.
