Gameplay

It's almost a completely traditional Japanese role-playing game, but unlike the Final Fantasy series and the likes of it, there is a significant addition during the fight - Aya can move around the field without spending any points. This small addition turns the fight beyond recognition, because it combines traditional battle tactics from the Japanese role-playing game and brings in it action elements from other genres, forcing the player to study and evaluate the opponent's actions on the other hand (his mobility, speed) - this greatly increases the variety Possible tactics of fighting with different monsters.

EX Gama

Plot

Aya Brea, a New York City police trainee, attends an opera at Carnegie Hall. During the opera, all the people in the building fire spontaneously - except for Aya and the opera singer Melissa Pierce. Melissa called herself "Eve" and disappeared. In pursuit of her through the Carnegie Hall building, Aya collides with a strange girl who reminded her of Maya, her dead sister, as well as monsters - animals, who turned into strange and aggressive creatures. Soon she finds Eve and sees how she turns into a monster and flies into the sewer. After wandering along the sewer she again meets that girl from the theater. In pursuit of her, she finds Eve, who tells her about the release of mitochondria. Eve, leaving, leaves Aya to fight with the monster - Alligator. The next day, Aya and her partner, police officer Daniel, visit the American Museum of Natural History and turn to the scientist Dr. Klump, who tells them about the evolution of the mitochondria, explaining the possible essence of what is happening. Under normal conditions, mitochondria are simply organelles of cells that provide them with energy. In the case of Eve, the mitochondria reached a new level of development, having learned to store genetic information on their own, and can do without cells at all, while possessing enormous energy production capabilities. In the person of Eve, they declared war on all cellular life on Earth, including humanity. Aya is for some reason unresponsive to the abilities of mitochondria and even reveals new supernatural abilities.
