Most of the non-battle menus share the same layout of buttons and displays on the screen's top-most and bottom-most rows. The top row has a return/back button, a display for the current mode's name with information and help buttons, displays for Player Level and various sources, and a battery icon. The bottom row has large buttons/icons labelled , , , , and .
===Gacha and Characters===
Characters are randomly obtained through a , with several resources which are collected in order to roll or facilitate the gacha, and variations in the poll of obtainables depending on circumstances at the time (such as promotions and limited-time events).
Each character is given stars according to their initial rarity, with more common versions having 1 or 2 stars, while the rarer and more potent characters are given 3 stars, along with a more detailed illustration. Characters can also be enhanced, which increases their stars by 3 in the process and unlocks new variation of their character image, with the initially 3-star characters exhibiting the more noticeable changes.
Characters fall into two main types; and . Battle characters fight on the field of battle, while Assist characters don't fight directly on the field but are partenered with Battle characters to support them. Additionally, each character possesses a colored , which affects effectiveness against other characters with different Attributes. has an advantage against , which has an advantage over , which in turn has the advantage over Red, while and are effective against each other. Some characters possess a version of the five regular Attributes. Other fixed parameters assigned to characters include their 'side' (Magic, Science or Other), attack type (either or ), and attack directions (either 1, 2 or 3 directions, with the potential directions being forward, forward-left and forward-right, relative to the character's position).
Characters also possess several stats which can be increased along with the character's Level; , , , , and .
Aside from levelling up or strengthening characters, players can also obtain () by using character in battle, or by setting them as and using the and options. Increasing a character's CP rank grants status bonuses as well as unlocking voice lines (spoken while interacting with characters set as "My Character"), associated side stories and other items.
===Battle===
Battles in Imaginary Fest are fought in a turn-based form, alternating between player and enemy turns. Battle quests mostly consist of several 'waves' of multiple enemies, fought in succession, with some singular Bosses and Raids. To clear a typical quest, a player must defeat all of the enemy waves, being defeat if all characters in their main and reserve teams are defeated. The wave, enemy and turn counts are displayed on the top-center of the screen.
Battles are fought by Battle characters, with the option for one character (either a Battle character, or an Assist character, which is restricted to this option) to be partnered to assist each Battle character. Players fight battles with up to three Battle characters in play at any one time, starting off with a Main Team of up to 3 characters, with a sub-team of up to 3 characters in reserve should any members of the main team be defeated (when their HP falls to 0).
The field of gameplay consists of a Player Zone and an Enemy Zone, both of which have a row of five smaller zones in which a character can be placed. The positions of a character on the field and the individual characters' attack directions determine which opposing characters they can attack. Additionally, enemy characters may have a Break point assigned to a specific direction - if a character attacks them from that direction, each attacker with lower a count. When the Break count hits 0, the enemy character will be incapacitated for one turn. A player can freely reposition their characters on the field before they initiate their attacks with the button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Battle characters have three offensive/support actions that they can perform; a basic Attack, a , and a Special, the latter two requiring a specified number of turns to 'cooldown' before they can be used again. In addition, they have unlockable potential abilities, as well as support from any partnered character. Special moves can only performed when the respective Special meter (positioned on the bottom of the screen for the player) has been filled up by a specific percentage.
