Overview
Tokyo Xanadu is an action RPG that blends dungeon crawling with high school life simulation. By day, you're a student in modern Tokyo building relationships and enjoying school activities.

Master fast-paced real-time combat with elemental strategies and character switching, then return to strengthen bonds with classmates who fight alongside you with unique abilities.

Despite the obvious flaws in its plot, Tokyo Xanadu more than makes up for it with its fast-paced action and combat system.

In theory, combining two of my favorite games into one sounds like a foolproof way to make one of the best games of all time.
