Gameplay

This is an RPG based on the characters of the hit manga Hayate no Gotoku! by Hata Kenjiro.  The player will navigate Ayasaki Hayate and his party of three other characters from the show in an over world.  The Sanzenin Estate acts as the game’s overworld, a massive piece of land completely cut off from civilization.  The player will explore the Sanzenin Estate, visit new towns (Within the estate), and enter dungeons in order to solve the mysteries of the estate.

You will encounter enemies throughout your quest.  The encounters are not random, and the enemies can be explicitly seen.  To avoid the enemies, simply steer clear of them, or if you need to battle, run into them and the battle sequence will begin.  In winning a battle, experience, tech points, currency will be obtained.  Experience can increase your level, by which your stats will increase, allowing you to face tougher enemies.  Tech points are accumulated for the purpose of learning new moves, and currency is used to buy items, weapons and armor.  Items such as Chocolate Pocky are consumed and heal your party, whereas weapons and armor increase your stats further if they are equipped.  There will also be key items that you collect for story purposes and for getting further in the game.

To save, simply go into your menu and select the save option.  There are no save points.  There are only few exceptions, like in battle, when you would not be able to save.
