What’s New & What’s Familiar
Fans of the original game will feel right at home: the core mechanics, roster of iconic heroes, and narrative arcs remain foundational. But its “rebirth” isn’t just cosmetic. The game introduces smoother animations, updated skill visuals, more expressive cinematics, and enhanced UI flows. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Gameplay & Mechanics
At its core, *Re:BIRTH* is a turn-based RPG with tactical depth. You assemble a team of heroes from different classes—damage dealers, supports, tanks—and deploy them in battles across story stages, dungeons, and PvP. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
One notable system is the formation layout: positioning matters. Frontline guardians absorb hits, while ranged or support heroes stay safer behind. You also set skill order and priority, giving you control over how your team executes in each fight. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Early on, you’ll encounter multiple growth systems—leveling, enhancement, fusion. Enhancement lets you power up heroes by sacrificing duplicates; fusion combines heroes to promote them. These systems become more complex as you progress, offering substantial strategic depth for players who like to optimize. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
