Grimms Notes is a side-scrolling role-playing game. A group of characters is controlled by the player, based on fairy tales and stories like Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella. The player controls the main character directly, moving them around the battle screen and attacking enemies while the game controls the other members of the Party. When players fight enemies they fill a skill meter, where the player unlocks the special ability of the character, both for the main character and others, when fully charged. The game features a “Soul System,” in which each character is equipped with two “souls,” equivalent to jobs or character classes. The player can change which souls are equipped between battles.
