About

As with the tradition of Tokyo Majin Gakuen franchise, Tokyo Majin Gakuen: Gehoujou is an adventure/strategy RPG hybrid. In adventure mode, players interacts with characters for answers. Affecting the answers and overall story progression are nine "emotions": love, friendship, joy, agreement, sorrow, anger, indecision, scorn, and ignorance. In battle mode, the party fights on isometric battle screens, moving around the battlefield and attacking when enemies are in range.
