Featuring the talents of Tales of series scenario writer Takumi Miyajima and Tales of series character designer Kosuke Fujishima, this JRPG appoints you to lead an elite military force known as ACID (Anti-Chimera Interception Division) to defend humanity from enemies transformed by the mysterious Chimera Virus! Fight in a real-time battle system alongside your teammates--but don't let your guard down. Investigate your allies to expose the traitor infected by the virus, before it's too late! Key Features TAKE THE FIGHT INTO OVERDRIVE! Characters can transform into their stronger split personalities mid-battle, but be strategic – too many transformations will lead to Fatigue! CUSTOMIZE COMBOS! Customize weapons and attack combinations for each character, and do more damage with Riot Combos, Simultaneous Attacks, and more! A TRAITOR AMONGST YOU! Depending on your choices, a team member will betray you. Find the traitor in visual-novel style interrogation sequences, and change the game’s ending! ※Uninstalling DLC items may prevent users from loading save files made before the DLC item was uninstalled.

Notes: This is a role-playing game in which players join young soldiers battling monsters and trying to save the world. As players explore a futuristic alternate universe, they engage in turn-based combat with beasts called Chimera. Characters use sword-gun weapons to deplete enemies' health meters; combat is highlighted by realistic gunfire, light effects, and cries of pain. One cutscene contains still images of a character repeatedly shooting another with a pistol; a pool of blood is depicted afterwards. The game includes some suggestive imagery: a beach scene in which female characters are provocatively posed in swimsuits that reveal deep cleavage; a hot-spring sequence in which women appear partially topless. The dialogue briefly mentions illicit drugs (e.g., “[I]llegal, sweetly flavored drugs are popular lately...” and “Recently there have been rumors of drug trafficking...”). The words “sh*t” and “a*shole” appear in dialogue.
