Gameplay
Slayers Wonderful is a Japanese role-playing video game featuring of a battle system reminiscent of Final Fantasy VII (a mix of a real-time and turn-based, complete with Limit Break-style super attacks), a 2D world map, and an exploration mode for using rotatable 3D isometric-graphics for navigating locations. Illustrated dialogue scenes and several animated cutscenes drive the game's story.
The player's party consists of up to three members, usually including the protagonists Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev and an additional character. All characters besides the warrior Gourry can use both physical attacks and various magic spells of several classes (depending on the character), and Naga the Serpent is also able to summon monsters (and, unlike in other media, she can use her sword). The player's choices for the characters' relationships and actions in the game influence their performance in battle and party members can combine their powers for special attacks.
