In the game, players get to control Rimuru and have the chance to relive the original story. That means they get to experience again the encounters with the Kijin and even the fight against the Kingdom of Falmuth. They also get to see the establishment and growth of the Jura Tempest Federation. As they go through this new adventure, players also get to be part of action-packed battles where they can use combo attacks and even flashy special moves.
Special Attacks and Resonance
Rimuru can also learn Special Attack by leveling up his bonds with friends like Ranga, Benimaru, and Shuna, to name a few. With this, his allies can then join the fight to allow for that devastating effect. Be sure to Finish off those formidable enemies with special skills that's been animated in retro 8-bit style.
There's also what's known as Tempest Resonance which allows players to strengthen the status of each character. To do this they'll have to develop buildings and facilities within the Jura Tempest Federation. Players can also look forward to enjoying two new adventures created by none other than the original author of the series.
