In response, the Holy King and its troops fought against it, but Holy Capital fell and the Holy King was killed by the mysterious Black King. Led by the Holy King, the continent was at peace until one day, a mysterious group called the Black Army ( 黒の軍勢, Kuro no Gunzei) appeared and started conquering the land. The continent of Yggdra ( ユグド, Yugudo) is a place where humans, ogres, giants, forest sprites, and many more mythical creatures live. Events are also in the game, allowing players to get special items and Arcanas. Each unit has its own story, which can be completed to obtain more Prysma or to unlock its special skill. Players can also summon allies by using either Prysma or Arcana Coins, which are earned during gameplay. If all stages are cleared, the player is awarded with money, special arcana and Arcana Coins. However, each unit has its own skill that can counter against enemies and easily clear each stage. If the one of the enemies reaches the safe zone, the game is over. Tapping one unit into the enemy allows it to attack and if the stage is cleared, the player can move to the next stage until it reaches the boss. The goal of the game is to clear each stage without the enemy reaching the player's safe zone. In the second versions of the game, updates introduced Fighters and Gunners, with the former being a type of Swordsman, and the latter being an archer-type. Each Arcana is assigned to 5 classes, and each unit are weak to specific class. Battle in the game is similar to a traditional tower defense game, each player can command a team of four Arcanas, with two more as sub-party extras and a guest unit. The map system shows the towns and areas that the player must visit by tapping on one town to another, however for the player to get to the next town, it must clear some enemies first. The role-playing game elements drive the entire story, allowing the player to make decisions, visit towns and participate in events.
