Aristeia! will allow players to choose their team and jump into action in the HexaDome, the arena where the definitive blood sport of the Human Sphere takes place. Players will enjoy the dynamic and spectacular nature of Aristeia! thanks to the exclusive character cards and Tactics cards representing incredible combat feats.
