[edit] Story

The story follows Mira, the highly fashionable daughter of the former Darklord, who is charged with dispatching intruding do-gooders by strategically placing traps and monsters around the tower she calls home. She arrives one day when her tower is seen flying across the air. Within the top of the tower is a crystal she must protect from adventurers trying to attack her home.

[edit] Gameplay

Once Mira's tower appears in enemy territory, Adventurers will begin to invade it. Players must defend the tower, starting by building some floors; if the Adventures reach the top of Mira's tower and get to the Dark Crystal, the game ends. There are several types of floors players can build. At first, players start with a simple offensive floor that will do damage to enemies and slow them down, but over time more types of floors will unlocked. Some will help defend monsters, some will do very clever - and strange - things to Adventurers attempting to invade Mira's tower. Heroes of all the tribes and job classes from the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series will storm the Darklord’s lair in real time.

[edit] Monsters

Monsters are summoned to battle the Adventurers trying to invade Mira's tower, since Floors aren't enough to defend it. Players will start off with Goblins, but as the game progresses, more monsters of different ranks, such as Bombs, Cactuars, Scorpions, and more, will be unlocked.
