Gameplay
Players can join either the forces of Light or the forces of Shadow. Once the game is completed, players can unlock a third group to align themselves with. Beside participating in conflicts among various Japanese political and demonic organizations, you also come into contact with the gods from Nordic mythology, including Odin, Freia, Loki who are concerned about events in the Far East.
As with the tradition of Tokyo Majin games, this 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.
Plot
In the Bakumatsu era in 1860's feudal Japan, the dynasty of Tokugawa shoguns are continuously attacked by rebel groups that wish to end the shoguns and restore the Empire. Young people all over Japan united into different clans and organizations, wishing to conquer the power in the capital city Edo. At this time, divine and demonic creatures also started gaining power under the leadership of Tenkai Kodzunu. The hero is Tatsuto Hiyuu, an ancestor of Tatsuma Hiyuu, the main hero of earlier Tokyo Majin games. This also applies to all the other characters in the game as they are ancestors of the respective characters in the Keppūroku game.
