AR NOSURGE: ODE TO AN UNBORN STAR (PLAYSTATION 3 PS3)

In the second game in the Surge Concerto series, the inhabitants of the destroyed planet Ra Ciela struggle to survive on the Soreil, a massive spaceship built by their distant ancestors. Their existence is threatened by mysterious beings called Sharl, who can use song magic that was lost to humans long ago. In response, the people of Soreil have split into two warring factions; the Genomirai Church seeks coexistence between the species, while the city of Felion believes it can only achieve peace by destroying the Sharl. Meanwhile, a group of people known as the Ancients has awakened. Having lived through the final days of Ra Ciela, the Ancients can still use Song Magic and may hold the key to resolving Soreil's conflicts.

The player initially controls a party of two characters named Delta and Casty, and will eventually be able to switch between these two and the other main pair of Ion and Earthes. This switching, called Zapping, can be performed freely at save points, though at certain points in the story it is forced or disabled. Each explorable area has a finite number of enemies that can be encountered; when a battle is initiated, the player has a turn limit to defeat as many waves of enemies as possible. Battles are turn-based and involve the male party member actively attacking enemies and protecting the female character while she charges her magic.
