Arc The Lad: End of Darkness takes place five years after, yet in the same world as Arc The Lad : Twilight of the Spirits. The main character is named Edda, who possesses the special skill of exorcism. Edda must become a hunter to rid the world of possessed beings and restore the balance of nature to the world. For the first time in the Arc The Lad series, all battle is in action real-time. Each individual character (25 in all) possess different weapons/attacks (similar to Diablo). Players are able to collect/combine items and magic cards for special attacks and abilities. As the player progresses further in the game, their ability levels and ranking increase. The game is also online enabled so players are able to take their customized players for online co-op and competitive battles.
