Setting
The game takes place on the fictional continent of Ustrurg. Following the story of Eden, the prince of Starlight Kingdom, it depicts his quest across the continent to raise a resistance army to combat against Kuraku Knight and his empire, and to find the lost sword Binding Blade in order to follow his path to victory and slay Kuraku Knight for his betrayal.

There are several nations:
 * Ustrurg: Known as the Starlight Kingdom, and shares the same name with the continent. It was founded by Asce when he and his army arrived in an open field to create a society there.
 * Starlight Kingdom: A kingdom of knights, founded by the Hero Asce. Eden hails from this kingdom as his home along with Cassius, Anna, Bride and Erin.
 * Raggeddune: A kingdom taking place in the Wild West themed setting and is the home of Joel.
 * Free Woodland: A forest where mythical creatures live in. Linus hails from this Forest.
 * Kestreyze: A kingdom to where Dragon hybrids live in. Yormita lives in this Kingdom.
 * Kinecardine: A kingdom where alot of food and crops grow around by themselves. This kingdom is said to be the wealthiest of them all. Niiro, Hardin, Barst and Minerva live in this kingdom.
 * Kuraku Knight's Castle: The final location of Ustrurg as it appears after Kinecardine. Kuraku Knight resides there.

Gameplay
The Gameplay is a hybrid between a Action Adventure and RPG Game as mostly in the Overworld games, the player can attack enemy units which appears to be many of them around making the game play similar to the Dynasty Warriors series.

When a boss fight is activated, it will turn into a Action Adventure type of Fighting Game where the player solely playing Eden against the bosses he goes through. Eden has three attacks and a counterattack that can activate when hit.
