Time and Eternity is a role-playing game in which you only control one character, inside and outside of battle. Outside of battle, the game handles moving around via menus, meaning you don't have the choice of exploring. It is inside dungeons that you will get a chance to control Toki/Towa. There is a map available that has chests, events and where you need to go pinpointed on it.
DUAL PERSONALITIES
At first, you will have control of Toki and only Toki. In order to gain control of Towa, you will either need a specific item or you will need to level up. Every single time you level up in the game, you will switch from one personality to the other.
BATTLE SYSTEM
The game uses the old-school style of random battles. The battle system itself utilizes a real-time system, where it's one-on-one against you and the enemies you face, even when you face against multiple enemies in a battle. Toki/Towa has a normal attack, which can be used in an unlimited manner. As she levels up, she will learn magic attacks that be assigned to other buttons.
Using these magic attacks will use up SP that can be replenished by using the normal attack. When enemies attack, you can dodge left or right by using the analog stick. Pressing up will allow you to close the distance and get into melee range, although Toki can attack from long distance.
