Dragon Shadow Spell

Sometime in the near future, ancient ruins are discovered in Tokyo. Despite taking place in a modern city, there are magic users afoot known as "Variants" who utilize a magic known as "Matrix." Enter a 17 year-old Variant-in-training named Kaito Amane who was orphaned when he was a child. He would have lost his life too if it weren't for a creature named Suihi who saved him and his sister from certain death. Since he was young, Kaito has been raised by his sister Tatsuki Amane who is 22 years old.

As the story begins, Kaito meets a comrade named Shizui who gifts him with a weapon known as a Matrix Gear which is what Variants use in battle. Soon afterwards, Kaito and Shizui are exploring the ancient ruins and find a wounded person on the floor. Two demons appear and subsequently attack. Despite the odds, Kaito uses the Matrix Gear to defeat the demons but four enemy reinforcements arrive. Things are looking bleak but Kaito is emboldened when Tatsuki and a fellow Variant named Raika Kiriyama appear to help beat the demons away.
Played in standard strategy-rpg fashion, DSS plays like many othersimilar games where movement, attacks, magic use, and item use are entirely controlled through a simple menu system. «NCS Game Notes»
