Septerra Core is an ATB-based RPG and could be considered the Western counterpart to Final Fantasy VII. However, once you start moving between shells, the game quickly becomes a "Where the heck do I go next?" kind of game, often pitting you against some seriously moon-logic progression requirements.

For instance, there are situations where you need to makeshift a boat to cross a lake despite already having an airship, or where you need a laser to progress but can't use Runner, whose signature attacks are laser-based. Instead, you'll need another party member whose signature attacks are bullet-based.

If you are brave enough to explore the 7 shells of Septerra Core, prepare for giant amount of tedium.
