The game's world possesses vast labyrinths and catacombs that lies beneath the civilization and fantastical monsters that stalks the darkest and most desolate forests.

The game was released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on Jin Japan, Augin North America and Octoin Europe.

Like Odin Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade, it is a spiritual successor to a game developed and published in 1997 by Atlus for the Sega Saturn titled Princess Crown.
