Gameplay

Both games use the Cross Arts Aerial Linear Motion Battle System (XAR-LMBS), a tweaked version of the series' Linear Motion Battle System. Battles occur in a 3D environment with 2D character sprites. The main characters Dio and Mel can change into any of the clothes they are given, altering their skills and equipment. For example, Dio can become a Samurai or Shinobi, while Mel can become a Nurse or Witch. The game includes about 80 costumes.
