Gameplay
Unlike most RPGs, this utilized a dual battle system. When you are not in a gear you have the standard choices of attack, defend, magic, item, and run. Attacking however is not as easy as other RPGs. Although this is turn-based you also have a certain amount of attack points. Certain combinations of moves cost more attack points (AP) than others and can lead to more powerful attack combos. AP can also be stored for future use. When a gear is involved you have to worry about the level of fuel and if you run out you can use a 'charge' move where you increase your fuel amount by a small amount, but leaving the Gear vulnerable to attack.
