Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki the 3rd - New, Restock Mon

In the Sora no Kiseki Second Chapter game, Estelle Bright went in search of answers regarding her adopted brother, Joshua Bright and found them for the most part. Six months after the events in Kiseki SC, two new heroes take the helm in their own adventure that's considered a side story or gaiden to the canonical Sora no Kiseki series.

The male lead is
a spiky green-haired priest named Kevin Graham and the female protagoinist is a ginger named Ries Argent who wears an outfit that's evocative of the nunnery. Similar to the mechanics in Second Chapter, players take command of a party of adventurers who use weapons, arts, crafts, and s-crafts to defeat their adversaries. Party moves and attacks are selected from a menu. Magic blasts are visually spectacular with colorful fireworks that light up the screen. When a battle begins, the party is arrayed on a grid-laced map against another party or a boss such as Astarte or Cassius Bright. That's right, Estelle's father appear in the game along with other familiar faces such as Wiseman, Levy, and Estelle herself. Joshua also makes an appearance.

Doorways in the game lead to mini-games, data snippets, and background information. A Japanese quiz may be found behind the fifth door in the Chamber of the Sun which will reward the player with nifty bonuses if answered correctly.
