Mimana Iyar Chronicle is a console-style role-playing game with open exploration, strategic party management, and action-driven combat. Characters explore the game world from an angled, top-down perspective. In battle, the viewpoint switches to a side-on perspective. Players control the main character's movement in combat, timing his attacks for maximum damage. Other characters in the party assist, with player-directed spells and support. The game's hero, a suave and skilled swordsman, quests across the land while accompanied by different maiden warriors. After adventuring with each, he can choose the most compatible to woo, in a dating-sim side game. The game's art style is heavily influenced by anime, and the story moves forward between the action with hand-drawn animated cut-scenes. The original Japanese version of Mimana Iyar Chronicle was published by GungHo Works in 2009. The adventure is brought to the U.S. by import-specialist Aksys Games.
