Tenshi no Present: Marl Oukoku Monogatari

Tenshi no Present: Marl Ōkoku Monogatari (Angel’s Present: Marl Kingdom Stories) is the third main title in Nippon Ichi’s Marl Kingdom series of fairy tale RPGs. Unlike the previous titles, Tenshi no Present is broken up into five unconnected chapters, which each focus on a separate story starring different characters. These stories take place throughout the series timeline; before, during, and after the first and second games. A sixth bonus chapter is unlocked after the first five are completed. The battle system is based on that of the previous game, taking a straightforward turn-based approach. The player can control up to four “leader” characters, which can themselves each have up to three “partner” characters; leaders can be directly controlled, while most partners cannot. Different partners may attack automatically, or give boosts or other assists to the main party.
