The story follows Ogihara Yusuke, a NEET who is summoned to another world by a mage and reluctantly becomes the prophesied hero. The game uses a front-view battle system with front and back rows, a four-person party, and leveling. Like the developer\u0026#39;s \u0026#39;Revenger\u0026#39; series, it runs on a custom i-appli compatibility layer that preserves the original i-mode feel, including optional 12-dot fonts and retro audio.
