Fantasia Re:buildis a free-to-play with micro transactions, meaning it should have a gacha system. The game has dialogues scenes presented in a visual novel like way, and turn-based battles.

In battle, characters can also use ultimate moves. See aboveDate a Live’s Tohka using Sandalphon and Yoshino using Zadkiel.
Characters strike a pose after their ultimate attack. Overall, it feels pretty similar toSuper Robot Wars.
