On the other hand, if the greater impact region is missed, the assault will be totally canceled. If the player is able to halt the arrow as it passes over a vital part of the ring, then the attack will be significantly more effective. At the very top of the screen, there is always a ring with a rotating arrow that emerges whenever a character uses an attack. Traditional turn-based combat is used for the game’s fights, and an additional element known as the Judgment Ring has been added to the mix. The character’s sanity bar will steadily drop as they engage in battle once it is depleted to zero, the character will become insane and therefore unmanageable until their sanity can be restored with items. In addition to the standard health (HP) and magic points (MP) bars, each player character additionally possesses a unique SP (commonly known as “sanity points”) bar.

During combat, characters will either employ their standard attacks or cast spells. Random chance determines who wins in combat with normal adversaries. The user controls a party of characters (up to three active combatants) as they move across settings that have already been rendered. The game is essentially a sequel to Koudelka because it has many of the same characteristics in terms of both the plot and the style. Shadow Hearts is a role-playing game in the style of Japanese role-playing games, although it is set in a historical time period (China and Europe in 1913, one year before World War I), and it features a large number of fantastical aspects. The trip will ultimately take them and their companions to Europe, where they will not only have to face their most dangerous foe but where will also learn the truth about their own personal histories. Yuri and Alice go on an adventure in China before the war, where they face off against demons, terrible magicians, and the Japanese occupation army. A young British girl named Alice Elliot, whose father was brutally killed and who is being pursued by a mystery warlock who calls himself Roger Bacon is one of the people Harry meets during his travels. Yuri Hyuga is a young harmonizer, which is a term that refers to a man who has the ability to shift into a demon.
