In an exclusive interview with Newsbytes PH, Tencent Games Philippines senior marketing manager Patricia Griño explained that although this is not the first time that the company took inspiration from mythological creatures in the production of new character set designs, this is their first collaboration within the Philippine context.
The combat system takes inspiration from traditional connect-3 puzzle games. By matching adjacent tiles with similar colors, players are able to activate their character’s attack, while more powerful skills are set off by matching more colored tiles. The Party Captain is the only character that attacks regardless if tiles are connected, while party members take advantage of elemental matching. There is also an additional auto-combat mode for casual gamers.
