Players explore towns, overworld areas, and dungeons from a top-down perspective while traveling between different historical eras. Combat uses an active-time battle system, letting characters perform attacks, techs, and combo moves once gauges fill. Enemies are generally visible on the field, reducing random battles. Progression is driven by story advancement, key items, and era-specific puzzles, with branching choices leading to different endings.
