Space Battleship Daisakusen series — a side scenario appears. A hidden story never told in the main Grand Strategy campaign has now been released as an escape game. While largely inheriting the world and systems of the original, enjoy a choice-based adventure game that's a different experience from the strategy simulation. Whether you're deep into Space Battleship Grand Strategy, have grown tired of it, gotten shot down, can't seem to finish the tutorial, or are picking it up for the very first time — this one's for you. Those who successfully escape and achieve the best ending will receive a gift in the main Space Battleship Grand Strategy game, so be sure to give it a try. This time, the difficulty is just a little... easier? This story depicts future events with no connection whatsoever to any real person, organization, or other entity.

The harsh battle of the girls who awakened as Exsia against the Nephilim who appeared from another world begins... Celestial Machina: Exia in the Twilight" is a powerful 3D real-time tactics game! Formations are formed by combining various units. ◆Story  Suddenly, a bottomless pit called "Absos" appeared in the far north. The Nephilim appeared from there, and the human race was in unprecedented danger. Humanity fought back with aerial battleships, but they were gradually being driven back. However, thanks to the unknown power of the Einhoff Soul (Infinite Light), they succeeded in developing and operating a "humanoid battleship," a fusion of an awakened girl and a flying battleship. The "Armageddon", a campaign against mankind by these "Excia" and their allies, has begun. ◆Game System  Formations are formed by combining various battleship units such as flagship, cruiser, destroyer, attack ship, missile ship, support ship, and heavy cruiser. Real-time tactical combat with ring-gauge commands! All battles are presented in powerful and beautiful 3D graphics! Enjoy the powerful visuals of beams, missiles, machine guns, and blasters flying about. ◆Attractive Characters  All characters are rendered in cartoon-like 3D, and can be customized with costumes, accessories and more! Additional features to be added in future updates  Field exploration and interaction   We are planning to add a system that allows players to freely walk around the field with their favorite characters and enjoy interacting with various characters.
