The game showcases a flashy real-time action battle system where all active party members are usable during a battle.

The whole party shares the same health bar and each character’s move is limited to the pin equipped to them. You can use one, two, or all pins to deal damage but you cannot spam them endlessly all throughout the battle. The yellow gauge below each pin will run out making each pin unusable for a brief period. It is important to think carefully about your strategy and manage your pin gauge usage in real-time while engaging these Noises.
