Gameplay
Borrowing gameplay elements from Square Enix's Final Fantasy Tactics series and Konami's card game Yu-Gi-Oh!, the main objective of the game is the player must defeat all the enemies in card-based battles. Once all the enemies are defeated, the player moves on to the next scenario. Players have a deck of 40 cards broken into two tableaus: one for character cards, and other for special cards. Cards are automatically drawn when one of their hand foundations are empty. Players can hold up to three cards of each type and cannot draw any more if one of them is full. Each player's turn goes like this:
 * Item Phase 1: Players can use an item on one of their characters before moving.
 * Move Phase: Players move their characters via a dice block roll, similar to the move mechanic from the HotShots Party series.
 * Item Phase 2: Players can use an item specifically before attacking an enemy.
 * Attack Phase: Players have one of their characters declare an attack on an enemy character.
 * Special Phase: If the player has any remaining Technic Points, they can declare any other special attacks specifically on a group of enemies.
 * End Phase: The player's turn is over and it's now their opponent's turn.

Plot
The game opens with Susumu and Wataru busily walking down their neighborhood having a food discussion over chocolate cornets, and upon entering a park, they see a large crater with a purple gemstone with a ying-yang symbol on it. Upon picking it up, Wataru suggests going to the Takanomiya Shrine so they can talk to the Hiiragi sisters of what this stone could be. Upon entering the shrine, they encounter Tsukasa Hiiragi in a panic, telling Susumu that Kagami has been captured. Upon hearing this, Susumu suspects that Team Ankoku is behind this, but hears that a group called the Brotherhood was busy going around Japan and capturing girls to use as weapons to terrorize the world.

When Susumu and Wataru bring the issue to their girlfriends (Konata Izumi and Miyuki Takara), they immediately rush to the Drill Institute where Dr. Zett is reading a newspaper about the incident going on. When Dr. Zett learns that Kagami Hiiragi is missing, he issues and objective to other Drill Institutes across the globe to find and search for any of their daughters captured by Brotherhood. Konata then hears on her phone from Kagami that she is in El Kadsre. The group of four then fly to El Kadsre, where they encounter Akita Maximino.

Rating summary
From the ESRB:


 * This is a tactical role-playing game where players assume the role of heroes from the Drillimation and Technic Heroes universes on a quest to stop an evil corporation from taking over the world. Depicted in both a cartoony and realistic art style, players select attacks from a drop-down menu to use on enemies. Players use a series of physical, magical, and supernatural attacks to defeat their opponents, which are often accompanied by colorful light effects and screams of pain. Some attacks are sometimes bloody, with blood splashes occurring upon impact of these attacks. At the end of a battle, players have the ability to perform "humiliation" moves on their enemies and most bosses. Many of these finishing moves depict acts of violence: characters getting stabbed, shot, or assaulted altogether. Throughout the course of the game, some female characters have a "zero-suit" form, which expose small to moderate amounts of cleavage. Some cutscenes depict characters smoking tobacco and/or drinking alcohol, one character uses alcohol for his attacks. His finishing move also depicts him spitting acidic alcohol on the enemy as well. The words "a**", "sh*t", and "p*ss" are heard in the dialogue.
