Gameplay
Dawn of Dreams utilizes a complete 3D rendition of its environment rather than pre-rendered backdrops. In addition, the player is now able to control the camera for most of the game, as opposed to the static camera angles employed within its predecessors. A shop system allows the player to purchase weapons that they can upgrade, along with valuable supplies such as medicine and accessories that convey a variety of benefits. Finally, a second party member accompanies the player, which they can switch to and control. During gameplay, the second character that is not controlled by the player can be issued commands via the directional buttons.
