Menu

You can access the menu anytime anywhere in the game by hitting c.

    • Hitting x once more after selecting your character will enable you to view the character's moves.
  • 装備(Equip): Equip your party members.
  • 所持品(Items): Your list of items.
  • 隊列(Formation): View/modify your party formation.
  • 履歴(History): View events that you have opened/cleared.

  • セーブ (Save): Save your progress.
    • メモリセーブ (Memory Save): Appears in the menu if the player is in a map other than the main points listed in the Save section. Temporarily saves the progress of the player. The memory save will be erased if the player turns off the game.

Formation

The formation of your party plays a crucial role in the game. Depending on what your party formation is, you may either win a boss battle easily or be unable to beat the boss at all. Several formations include the following:

  • X formation: Place your characters in the shape of X. The front two members will receive close-range attacks before the other two rows. The front row receives a STR bonus of 3. The middle row receives a STR bonus of 2 and INT bonus of 2. The rear row receives an INT bonus of 3.
  • T formation: Place your characters in the shape of T with the T pointing towards the enemy side. The front member will receive close-range attacks before the other two rows. The front row receives a STR bonus of 2. The middle row receives a STR bonus of 3. All three members of the rear row receives an AGI bonus of 1. The left member and the right member of the rear row receives an additional INT bonus of 1.

Stats

Unlike most other RPG games, テンドーブレード does not have a formal leveling up system. Instead, each character's stat is randomly increased every time the party wins a battle. The distribution of the increase in stats is different for each character, and the player cannot decide what the stat distribution for each character will be. For instance, while Suika's stats are inclined towards increasing Strength only, Patchouli's stats are inclined towards increasing Intelligence only.
