The DioField Chronicle is set on a continent ravaged by a war between the Empire and the Alliance. DioField Island’s Kingdom of Alletain is the only nation so far to have avoided the bloodshed, but soon finds itself drawn into the conflict due to its abundance of Jade, a mineral vital as an ingredient in magic.
Players control Andrias, the leader of a mercenary group called the Blue Fox. He is joined by Frederet, Andrias’ childhood friend who rides into combat on horseback, as well as the archer and minor noble Iscarion, and talented magic user Waltaquin. The game’s combat features Real Time Tactical Battles (RTTB), which play out in real time. Players can pause the action to survey the battlefield and give orders. In addition to strategy, players will need to make use of different skills, troop types, and equipment to emerge victorious.
