Koei Tecmo and Gust Studios today announced that Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout will have a revamped battle system featuring real-time battles, meaning that the battle will progress while the player chooses the character actions. All skills and critical attacks performed will drain the Action Points that all of the party members share. By filling the AP gauge with normal attacks, players will increase their Tactics Level, granting the party members the ability to use more powerful attacks and special combos.
The player can also switch out the player character at any time, as many times as they want. In addition, players can adjust the difficulty of battles from Easy to Hard. Those who are experts at a real-time battle system can ensure they have a challenge, and newcomers will have some hand-holding as needed.
