Gameplay
This game is a one-on-one fighting game which similary plays to Blazblue and Guilty Gear. The characters move on 2D plane as the characters are HD Drawn Sprites and the background is 3D. The male characters who are the makai knight will transform into their makai form as the makai knight characters have the limiters which counts from 99.9. If the timer reaches zero the characters will dissengage of their armor as the makai priest characters are using the madou brushes similar to drives from Blazblue. The exception is Leo Fudou who is both makai priest and makai knight.
