The game features animation by ufotable and integrates battles directly into large environments, removing load screens. It runs on Windows and lists single‑player, multiplayer, split‑screen, and several Remote Play options among its supported features.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Setting
The narrative centers on Sorey’s burden as a Shepherd, protecting the world from Malevolence while striving to reunite humans and Seraphim. The backdrop is a medieval fantasy realm torn by war between two powerful nations, which is explicitly mentioned in the description.
Key characters include Lailah, the Lady of the Lake who guards the Sacred Blade, and Sorey’s friend Mikleo. Their involvement is noted alongside a rising shadowy force that appears later in the story.
- Observe how each nation’s conflict is referenced in dialogue to gauge its impact on the plot.
- Watch for appearances of the Sacred Blade as markers of story progression.
02 / THE GUIDE
Seraphim Advanced Battle System
Combat uses the Seraphim Advanced Battle System, which allows fusions between Sorey and Seraphim allies. This fusion mechanic is directly cited in the feature list.
Battle scenes are described as seamlessly integrated into the environment, with no load screens or transitions, meaning combat begins directly from exploration.
- Note the visual change when a fusion is activated compared to a solo attack.
- Pay attention to how the environment remains visible during the transition into battle.
03 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer and Shared/Split Screen
The feature list includes both Single‑player and Multi‑player, indicating that the game can be played by more than one person. It also lists Shared/Split Screen, which allows two players to view the same world on one display.
No additional mode descriptions are provided, so the multiplayer experience is understood to use the same content as the single‑player version, as no separate narrative is mentioned.
- When playing split‑screen, coordinate movement to stay within the shared view.
- Check that both controllers are recognized before starting a co‑op session.

Remote Play Options
Remote Play on Phone, Tablet, TV, and Remote Play Together are listed as supported features, meaning the game can be streamed to those device types from a Windows PC.
The list does not specify performance differences, only that the options exist, so each device can be used for streaming without further detail.
- Test each device individually to confirm a stable connection before a longer session.
- Use Remote Play Together when inviting a friend who does not have the game locally.

Steam Services
Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Trading Cards, and Family Sharing are all listed, indicating the game integrates with these Steam platform services.
Family Sharing allows another Steam account to launch the game without purchasing a separate copy, while Steam Cloud stores save data for the listed platform.
