The Story
InHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Princethe Video Game, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different, but equally unavoidable adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates. And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealously, but determined not to show her feelings. Yet as romance blossoms throughout Hogwarts, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Story
Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontieris set across a variety of worlds, ranging from an apocalyptic wasteland covered with the hulks of downed spaceships to a fantastical place of fairy tales and dark magic. Join Haken Browning: gunslinger, professional bounty hunter, and amateur ladies' man, along with his motley crew of robots, were-beasts, secret agents, and busty princesses as they delve deep into the mysteries of how their worlds came to be and face a threat that imperils the multiverse.

Battle
While engaged in combat inEndless Frontierplayers utilize every character available, but only four characters will be acting as front-line fighters. Use the formation option to rearrange your party, where characters in the front will be the ones getting up-close and personal with enemies, and characters in the back will be available to provide support for attacks. During a battle each character will make use of HP, SP and COM. HP is the character's health. When it is down to zero the character is knocked out and can't be used in battle until revived. If all four characters in front are knocked out, you've lost the battle and the game is over. SP is used for skills and spirit commands. These provide a variety of useful effects like healing or special attacks that deal status effects to enemies. COM is what allows you to perform attacks each turn. Each attack a character makes has an associated COM cost. More damaging attacks require more COM and if a character doesn't have enough COM to continue her/his attack sequence, the turn ends. Each character regains some COM every turn, and some items or spirit commands will refresh a character's COM as well.

Hit Count and Combos
Every time you strike an enemy, that enemy will be lifted off the ground slightly. As long as the enemy is in the air each successive hit will add to the hit count. The higher the hit count, the more damage you'll do in a series of attacks. In addition, your chance of getting critical hits increases in direct proportion to the current length of the combo. Critical hits deal a lot of damage. To keep your hit count high, use careful timing to chain your characters' attacks together into an unstoppable tidal wave of pain. These tricks will keep you fighting at the top of your game.

Chain Attacks
While one of your characters is attacking, if the next characters to attack is another one of your characters, you can begin the second character's turn before the first has completely finished his attacks. This might seem wasteful, but it lets the second character jump right into combat and begin attacking while the enemy is still being juggled from the attacks of the first character, further increasing the hit count and dealing more damage through critical hits. You'll also get a boost to the frontier gauge, making it even easier to use overdrive attack more often.

Support Attacks
Characters in the back row can still help you out, even if they're not part of the fighting force. Call upon those members of the party to use support attacks, during which they will quickly jump into battle, deal a few hits, then leap away again. This takes place while your party members are attacking, so you can continue attacking on your own. Let the assisting characters attack, or use this opportunity to chain in more characters to extend the combo even further.

Key Features

• Fighting style combat- Combo attack your enemies and never let them hit the ground to deal the most damage. This unique“juggling” gameplay and timing-based attacks keep every encounter fresh and exciting, unlike most RPGs.
• Story intended for mature RPG gamers- Intended for the more seasoned, older gamers, the story includes more nuanced, complex characters and manages to mix drama, romance, and humor to great effect..
