Gameplay
In Trinity Universe's battle system, each attack uses a certain amount of AP, and skills are assigned to three different buttons, it has a very similar combat system to Hyperdimension Neptunia except without Neptunia's extensive customization. If players execute a string of skills, they can deal more damage. Time is said to be an important element, with players having a set period in which to destroy a gravitation field and escape a dungeon.
The
game features two different scenarios, Goddess side which features Gust
characters, and a Demon Lord side with Nippon Ichi characters. The protagonist
in the Demon Lord story line is a devil dog named Kanata, while the Goddess side stars the
Valkyrie Rizelea.
