About
The Heroic Games are about to begin!
Enter the Dagdan Empire—a prosperous land ruled by the gods—and compete in the Heroic Games for the chance to be granted one wish. Powerful fighters from across the land have gathered to participate, including four heroes whose fortunes are tied to the fate of the world.
Play as Cai, a young boy determined to win the games to save his imprisoned father; Dietrich, a swordsman ever on the hunt for a stronger foe; Theodora, a queen seeking to fulfill the long-held dream of her homeland; and Leda, a musician with her sights set on revenge. The stories of these four heroes are key to this time-traveling saga of strength and steel.
Guide Your Heroes to Victory as Each Weaves Their Own Tale
Prepare for each match of the Heroic Games by exploring Dagda and its capital city of Dagsion. Learn techniques and hone skills at the training grounds, recruit allies and build bonds of friendship, and explore beyond Dagsion’s walls to gain experience and strengthen your forces in a variety of ways. How you spend your free time is up to you, but the tactical matches of the Games themselves will put your preparations to the test. Use everything you have at your disposal, including your heroes’ special abilities, to turn the tide of battle!
Determine the Fate of the World
Travel through time to gather allies and defeat the demon god Balor. Test your tactical prowess in battle as you guide four heroes on their interwoven journeys from past to present. Together, you’ll save the future from ruin—or fall trying.
Meet the Characters
Follow the different paths of the four heroes and their allies as their tales are woven across time.
- Protagonist – Tasked with saving the world, you travel back in time to guide the heroes.
- Cai – A young boy determined to save his father from imprisonment.
- Dietrich – A ruthless swordsman ever on the hunt for a stronger foe.

Lead Your Army Into Battle
Command your units in strategic turn-based combat against the enemy. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of your units and direct them wisely on the grid-based map, and you just might gain the upper hand.
- Turn the Tide With Blaze Arts – Heroes can unleash powerful signature moves called Blaze Arts at the cost of HP. Using them fills the Blaze Gauge, which grants a helpful power boost at the halfway mark. But be mindful—filling up the gauge completely leads to Burst, ending any bonuses and cutting the hero’s max HP in half.
- Call Upon Blessings for Aid – Earn a god’s favor, and they will bestow boons you can use to gain advantages in battle. Level up each Blessing to acquire more effects, such as temporarily reducing damage from enemy attacks.
