Soul Eater: Battle Zone

Soul Eater: Battle Zone, known as Soul Eater: Extravaganza (ソウルイーター ： エクストラバガンザ Souruītā: Ekusutorabaganza) in Japan, is an Action RPG made by Square Enix and Jupiter.

Gameplay
The game plays through an episodic form with a "Movie Special" Chapter after the final one.

The game takes on the ATB system called "ATB Zero" where you can spend ATBP to use Command Abilities to either aid allies/ yourself or attack enemies. The gauge fills up gradually overtime, though certain Abilities can either Slow Down or Fasten your ATBP (the colors will change depending on your ATB Status: purple;Normal, red;Fasten, yellow;Slown, white;Stopped, pink;Full), if the gauge is full you will be Immune to all ATB affecting Abilities.

There are only 2 types of attacks in battle, seperately: Melee/Close Ranged and Ahead/Long Ranged. You can expand form 2-4 Command Abilities each time you get Promoted (there are 2 Promotions in the game), it'll even unlock new Chain Commands!

For Encounter Reductions, go to a Soul Kishin and choose to enter battle. For Mission Reductions, go to a Soul Sphere and select from chosen list. Boss Reductions comes "naturally".

The Arena mode allows you to take on Challenges to earn Prizes (depends on the Arena you chose) and if you beat 'em all, you get the Grand Prize! (again, depends on the Arena you chose):
 * Rookie Heaven (Minor Prizes. Grand Prize: New Cadet Starter Kit (holds Arena exclusive prizes))
