* Mittens (VA: Saki Fujita), the Buridango insect, is introduced. These kinds of insects emit a foul odor that repels human, but Mittens apparently likes this prince and she's hoping Metallica will help her find a way to get close to him.
* Two new faucets introduced:
- Trick Screamer: I'm having a very hard time deciphering this with google translate. It sounds like it's defense isn't all that great, but you can turn enemies to your side.
- Shinobi the Assassin: An overall great offensive form in exchange for not so great defense.
* As stated in previous posts, your job is to destroy the pillars to allow Metallica to spread her influence, but they also serve as nice little checkpoints throughout the game.
* As you go through the game, you earn grade points that you can place into various different stats. If I reading this correctly, it seems like you can adjust your grade points when you're at your base, allowing you to prepare for whatever dangers you may face.
* You may encounter rare enemies called Anima during the game. They carry some really rare items, but can disappear if the fight drags on too long.
* You can ask for wishes from Metallica which allow you to change various things in the world. It's pretty much the equivalent of Disgaea's Dark Assembly.

* Characters:
- Plume (VA: Saori Hayami), Schwert's energetic Battle Princess. A little happy-go-lucky but very powerful and loves to fight. Wields a sword.
- Larts (VA: Atsushi Abe), Plume's squire and the straight man to the energetic princess. He wields a bow.
- Uni (VA: Hiromi Igarashi), local craftsman who builds and repairs furniture for the king. Surprisingly calm and sharp tongued in spite of the loli genki girl appearance. Wields a staff
- King Shiguto (VA: Junji Majima), king of Schwert and Plume's brother turned goose.
* Combat unfolds like you'd expect from a 2D ARPG. You're on a 2D plane fighting enemies with varying styles of combat. Plume naturally focuses on close range combos with her sword. Ratsu use his bow and arrows from afar and can pop-up enemies for juggling. Uni uses powerful magic bullets.
* As you level up, you gain more powerful techniques and depending on how well you use them, you might activate a special team finishing move.
* Limited Edition copies come with the OST.

Some of this will be a recap of previously released info:

* According to siliconera article, Nippon Ichi focused more on the 3D graphics. While they look goodm(Definitely the best 3D graphics from Nippon Ichi since Guided Fate Paradox), I can't help but notice that compared to the early screenshots, there's a lot more brown in the color palette. Apparently, even NI is submitting to the Real is Brown trope...
* Couple of new characters introduced. You have Metallica's butler Shimobe Arlecchino(?) the Faithful, Nezaria the Fog Witch, who is quiet but appears to hold a lot influence amongst the other witches, and Terrasa the Apprentice Witch whose master remains a mystery.
* Your item bag in this game is the Hundred Knight's stomach.
* The Hundred Knight can equip up to five weapons at a time. Each weapon has a specific property and an attribute which certain enemies are weak to. The one's shown in the article are:
- Sword: Slash type. Has decent speed and attack range.
- Hammer: Shot type. Slow and has a shorter range, but has great attack power and increased Critical Hit rate which can flinch enemies.
- Lance: Slash type. Can only attack in a straight line and a little slow, but the range makes up for it. There is also a Battering Ram, which is similar to the Lance except it has a Blow type attribute.
* If you can time your dodge just right, you activate the Mystical Dodge which grants invincibility and slows your surroundings for a limited time.
* Kill an enemy in one hit and you activate Extra Chain, which increases your characters damage output and speed. The move stacks so your damage will keep increasing as long as the next enemy dies in one hit.
* Breaking away from Metallica will deplete your Giga Calories and once it reaches zero, you're automatically forced back to your home base. You can regain Giga Calories by eating a weakened enemy.
* The Hundred Knight can activate an ability called the "Chaos Riva configuration"(?). This enhances it's current abilities and grants new abilities like firing magic bolts, but it drains your Giga Calories much more quickly and cannot be turned off. Once activated it will keep depleting your Giga Calories until it reaches zero.

* Voice cast includes:
Metallica the Swamp Witch - Mariya Ise
The Hundred Knights - Kaori Mizuhara
Shimobe Arlecchino the Faithful - Koji Yusa
Visco the Inquisitor - Ayumi Fujimura
Lana Nia Luccinia - Tomoe Tamiyasu
Nezaria the Fog Witch - Kaori Mizuhashi
