Facts from the source article.
Gameplay
The player controls an adventurer who forms a party to explore dungeons, collect treasure, and fight monsters in turn-based combat from a first-person perspective on a grid map. Characters improve by learning skills and equipping items. Five main classes—fighters, magic users, scouts, maids, and spielers—branch into over 30 subclasses with unique skills and outfits as characters specialize; for example, a fighter may become a paladin or valkyrie, while a magic user can become an enchantress or witch.
Development
Aquaplus released the original PlayStation Portable game in March 2013 as part of the To Heart and To Heart 2 media line. Atlus handled the western localization, which includes Japanese voices with English subtitles and is compatible with PlayStation TV. To achieve a Mature ESRB rating for Western audiences, Atlus censored four CG images deemed overtly sexual.
