The teased “miracle” system is the inclusion of new characters, born through the fusion of 2 characters from a different franchise. The first one revealed is the scythe-wielding girl, Hirotune. She is the result of a fusion betweenNeptunia’s Neptune andSpectral Force’s Hiro. Hirotune is described as “the purple flames wielding death god” and was designed by Tsunako.
Brand new original characters will be in the game too:
Both Alto and Aina are described as enemy characters who look similar to the game’s main characters.
As with most mobile games, characters can be obtained through a gacha. All characters have a set rarity, however, all characters can be upgraded by certain means to reach the highest rarity in the game, which is five stars. That way, you can keep using your favorite characters without worrying about their rarity.
The game has a main story and sub-scenarios, and more of them will be added as the game goes on.
The battle system requires you to create a party of five characters and fight a group of five enemies on a map divided into 7x5 tiles. Characters are represented in SD during battles. You can move your characters around the map, attack and use skills. Some skills have special properties, like knocking back opponents.
There is also a “Link Card” system. Multiple CG illustrations from various Idea Factory/Compile Heart games are included inMega Miracle Forcein the form of cards. You can visualize them to look back on some iconic scenes from these games, and you can equip the cards on characters, granting them various benefits.
Mega Miracle Force’s theme song is “Toraware no Mirage”(The Imprisoned Mirage) and will be sung by idol group Erabareshi. The single releases on January 23 in Japan, which should be very close to the game’s launch.
