[edit] Gameplay

The game is a turn based RPG. The story generally follows Ichigo though at points the option of viewing events and playing as one of a number of pairs of captains and vicecaptains occurs.
While some skills and magic can be used from a menu the damage causing special moves, usually a shikai for Shinigami, must be activated as the character attacks their target, much like Final Fantasy 8's gunblade attack, unlike the gunblade however the special moves will not always be available.
The main enemies are hollows which function as monsters for random battles. The player characters also come into conflict with various Shinigami.
