However, the mysterious god Dagda resurrects the protagonist in exchange for his fealty, and sets him on a perilous path that treads a fine line between peace and anarchy. Is Dagda simply an opportunistic lesser god or is he part of something much bigger? <\/p>\n<p>You get to choose between peace or anarchy while being a pawn in the gods&#8217; chess game. You&#8217;ll also get combat partners because let&#8217;s face it, hunting demons is dangerous. Alongside the standard three demons, players will be able to rely on one of seven partners to help win battles. But you&#8217;ll need to be on your guard because Tokyo is infested with a series record 450+ demons to fight, fuse, or recruit.
