As Tenshi is a high-spec girl, she can perform high-maneuver actions and super powerful attacks while maintaining her stylish composure. – “Shoot”, “Strike” and “Slash” your way through a variety of enemies! – “Dodge” successfully to invoke “Spirit Grasping”.

Then counterattack! – During Spirit Grasping you can control the “Weather” in your favor! – Even if you take damage, no worries… Tenshi can “Auto Heal”! – Destroy a Boss’ “Amulet” to render them defenseless and release a hellish flurry of attacks! – Use powerful table-turning “Spell Cards” to get out of prickly situations!

Unlock skills, increase the number of moves you can use and customize your shots and spell cards to your liking. After clearing the main scenario, boss-attack, etc. challenge modes will be unlocked.
