It works {SIMILARLY} to the Earthbound / Mother games. It doesn't look like much, but there is too much to this game already, I dread the other 3 characters, and bag system. and psi I tacked on some stuff too. Like overheal, based off of TF2 Defending and running works differently. Running gives you a 1/10 chance to win instantly. Defending is more of a gamble. You cancel out the rolling HP Meter for a chance to take more damage or less, or if you get lucky, you counter the enemy attack. RAND-O-METER. (Just a little visualizer for the random chance system. If you have it on or off will not change anything gameplay wise.)
