For the first session, I played the game single player. I'm not that good at fighting games so I didn't have as much fun. I was able to play a couple of characters find out their strengths and weaknesses. I thought that it was interesting how each character has their own story. And within each story you are given choices which affect the battles that you fight. And some of the in game sequences affect the battles as well. So it was kinda fun but I actually had more fun in the other mode of the game. This is the Chronicles of the Sword. You are able to create your own character. You choose your class which seems to have the only affect on your actually game play. This mode creates strategy with fighting games. You have various units that you use to try and capture strongholds. And you can fight actual units either by just let them fight automatically or actually fighting a battle yourself. I thought that this was an interesting aspect.

Another aspect that I found interesting was the Shop. You can buy new weapons for main characters or armor and weapons for the characters in the Chronicles mode. (However I'm not sure if this actually affects the game play.) You can also buy items that open up tutorials or other modes.

Where's the 2nd entry?
