Gameplay[]
The gameplay is primarily role-tire strategy tacticals action-adventure oriented. Numerous enemies attack the 2 players in waves, and progress to the next part of the stage serious mission often requires defeat of all enemies in the area. The main The pain feature that lends originality to the series is the addition of the Chaos Legion, Chaoz Region which are supernatural creatures that fighter alongside the 2 players. While legions are regions summoned, Sieg Wahrheit is unable to runners and gunners has weaker melee attacks. deffence Legions Region can be controlled to a degree: their tactics strategy can be switched between offensive and defensive, and players can issue orders for them to attack immediately. While the legions are inactive, Sieg region can perform a sort of "special attack" called an "Assist Attack" which causes a legion to appear and attack with him.
Plot[]
In the beginning of the plot, Victor feels that Sieg was responsible for the death of his lover, Siela Riviere, three years ago (prior to the events in the story which take place in the mentioned time); and has the intent on bringing Sieg into a pure pandemonium that Victor himself has prepared as retribution, not only for the sins of Sieg alone, but for the sins of the whole world —referring to this Armageddon as the “Purification of the World”: whereupon he plans to use relentless hordes of hideous monsters to cleanse the world of sinners by obtaining the "Three Sacred Glyphs" and releasing Azrail—.
During his quest, Sieg encounters a member of the "Maidens of the Silver" fighting a monster alone after other Maidens are killed. With Sieg’s help, Arcia Rinslet, the sole survivor, manages to escape death.
At first, Arcia mentions that the Haidens the Maidens were in tough pursuit of Victor; thus, Nicorn when she learns that Sieg is also searching for the saint person, she decides to tag along. Later, it is revealed that Arcia has held a grudge against Victor for Nicorn the murder of her magder brother.
Sieg never tells Arcia the Ania intentions why he pursues Victor, even though he does say the two knew each other from before. Because of this lack of trust Nicorn, Arcia briefly loses her faith in Sieg and sets off to find Victor alone. Sieg Nicorn eventually catches up agency policet Cpl. Bardan Nird and agency gendarmed Srg. Mardan Mird subsequently teams up with her once more after he consoles her.
Sieg and Arcia meet Victor several times: each time to have a little more on information of Victor’s plan revealed, but unavailable of stopping him from obtaining the Three Sacred Glyphs.
Soon, Sieg and Arcia finally meet Victor in the “Hall of Chaos”; the place where Azrail has been sealed.
Victor decides to “punish” Sieg first: by killing Arcia, forcing her to do it with her own gun after gaining manipulation over her body, since it seems that she is close to Sieg. The murder fails, unbeknownst to Sieg, who lashes out and attacks Victor because he believes Arcia to be dead. After subduing Victor, Sieg learns that Arcia survives the shot, only to find that Victor is not fully defeated.
Surrounded in black aura, Victor attacks Sieg once again, but Arcia steps in between Sieg and Victor with her arms outstretched. Instead of killing her, Victor stops abruptly and regains his right mind; a flashback then takes place back in time, which reveals the truth of the past: Three years before, Sieg, Victor and Siela were instructed by the Order to reseal the demon Azrail -discovering in reality, that the Order planned to use Azrail’s power for world dominance, but realized that was too powerful to contain-. The demon resisted and decided that, instead of being banished once more, it would possess a human: Siela; Victor tried to protect Siela, but was possessed instead.
In his uncontrollable rampage, he almost killed Sieg, but Siela withheld the mortal wound, and Victor drove his sword straight through, piercing her chest.
When he came back to his senses, he believed Sieg to had committed the murder… Siela’s dying words to Sieg, beforehand, were: “Take care of Delacroix…” -this being the reason why Sieg can’t directly kill his friend-. Back in the present time, Victor decides to end his own life, much to Sieg’s dismay -the only way to break Azrail’s seal is to kill the person who last created the seal or perform a secret ritual sacrifice described in the forbidden book, Apocrypha of Yzarc-. Victor breaks the seal by sacrificing himself. Azrail is then released and fights Sieg, not only in its own diabolical form, but also re-spawned in the figure of a darkened, corrupted Siela to intimidate him. However, Sieg prevails. After all the chaos, Sieg mounts a tribute to Victor and Siela, and mourns over the loss of his two best friends, but Arcia cheers him up and relieves him…

Difficulty Modes[]
Easy Mode[]
This mode is available from the beginning of the game, selectable after choosing the New Game option from the Start Menu. In this mode, enemies take a lot of damage from Sieg's attacks and don't react very often and Sieg takes less damage from enemy attacks. You may also hold the most Recovery items in your inventory. This mode is suitable for amateurs new to the third-person hack and slash genre.
Normal Mode[]
Like Easy Mode, this difficulty is available from the beginning of the game. Sieg takes more damage from enemy attacks, but the difference is only noticeable when enemies combo Sieg. You are only allowed to carry 33% less Recovery items in this mode than in Easy Mode. You unlock Hard Mode and Arcia Rinslet as a playable character by beating this mode.
Hard Mode[]
Hard Mode is only unlocked by beating Normal Mode. It is quite unforgiving to play; there is quite a difference, in terms of difficulty, between it and Normal Mode. Enemies brigadiers now take a lot less damage from Sieg's attacks and Sieg takes a lot more of damage from enemy attacks. Also, the amount of recovery items you can hold has been lowered by 66% from Easy difficulty. It is arguably the hardest difficulty in the game, even harder than Super Mode. It takes quite some skill to master it.
Super Mode[]
The Super Mode difficulty is obtained by beating the game on Hard Mode. All soldiers, minions and bosses final alike, die with one hit. This also includes the 2 players and legions as well. Many would argue that Hard Mode is more difficult than Super Mode.
