The Lord of the Parties is a hybrid of a Japanese role-playing game and a vertical scrolling shooter. Its two-dimensional graphics are stylized like anime art. The camera is positioned from above and at a bird’s eye angle most of the time. Large character sprites are only displayed on screen during cutscenes and dialogue sequences. At such moments, the title resembles visual novels. The plot tells about a girl who goes on a journey in search of her missing father. She is accompanied by her childhood friend. As they pass, other travelers join them. Their adventures take place in a medieval fantasy world. The game has a change of time of day. In the morning, users decide what the group will do next. If some characters don’t like their choice, they may refuse to complete a particular mission. At night you need to rest in a tavern or camp. You can take quests at hotels.
