Seven: Molmorth no Kiheitai is a strategy role-playing game for the PlayStation 2 set in the troubled land of Acralind. Players must restore peace by retrieving seven sacred stones that seal an ancient evil. Emphasizing strategic preparation, players select and position seven units of various classes on a grid before battles, which are managed by AI, allowing for dynamic formation adjustments.
Trouble is in the land of Acralind. Thousand years ago, seven legendary heroes have sealed the powers of evil with seven sacred stones. But now, the stones have been weakened, and the ancient evil raises its head again. Monsters attack villages and towns. It is your task to retrieve the seven stones and to restore peace in the land.
In this strategy RPG, the emphasis is on preparation for the battles rather than on the battles themselves. Before each battle, you are able to see the stats of the monsters and even the tactics they are going to use. You must then select seven units of various classes (knights, archers, mages, etc.) and place them on a battle field, which is a grid composed of four columns and three rows. Front row can attack, middle row support or attack with bows, and back row heals. The battle itself is controlled by computer AI, but you can change formation at any time.
