Mercenaries Lament is a tactical role-playing game set in a fantasy world.

Battles take place on quarter-view maps with height differences, where the positioning of characters in front of, behind and to the sides of enemy units can very well determine the outcome of each battle. Support effects depend on the position of allied characters in your group, allowing players to take advantage of highly strategic maneuvers. Players have great freedom in character development, such as acquiring and enhancing skills and changing classes using skill points earned in battle.

Characters are beautifully drawn with rich facial expressions by illustrator Sakura Mochi!

・Advent Soul

When Amalie, the heroine, is in your party, you can fill a gauge at the top right of the screen that will allow you to store 1 BP when it's full.

By using BP, characters can enter a state called “Advent Soul”, which fortifies the character for a certain period of time.

The character can then use “Advent attacks” with other party members and “Soul Exceed” skills, which are special moves.

・Advent attacks

When a character in “Advent mode” is positioned to sandwich an enemy with another ally, a coordinated attack can be triggered by performing a normal attack or an attack skill.

Advent attacks are unique skills for each character and can inflict heavy damage.

・Soul overcoming skills

Units in Avent mode can use Soul Exceed skills at any time.

This special move is unique to each character, and the effects range from inflicting immense damage on the enemy to recovering the HP and anomalies of all allies.

(Once Soul Exceed is used, the character's Advent mode is deactivated).

Using Soul Exceed skills is the key to victory!

・Orbs of hidden power

There are mysterious “orbs” that can be obtained by progressing through the story, visiting specific locations and encountering certain enemies.

There are a total of 13 orbs scattered throughout the game.

You can check the status of your collection on a dedicated screen and equip your character with them as accessories.

What happens when all the orbs are collected?
