Our take on Cento
Combat is defined by the need to enter commands in rhythm while adapting card combinations to the opponent’s attacks.
What is Cento?
Cento is a game where commands are entered in time with music and skills are activated during fights.
The cards in hand and the opponent’s attacks shape each battle’s available combinations. Skills and gifts received from existing characters can be combined into a custom deck. Stages range from cities to ruins and use different background music, with tempo and beat affecting the playing experience. Endurance mode focuses on consecutive battles while skills are reinforced and more gifts are obtained. New skills can then be used to launch stronger attacks.
