Game Structure

Turn-Based Command Battles

In the turn-based battles, players will need to choose what action they are going to do.

The main actions are: "Attack," "Charge" (Special Skill Progress bar/MP), and "Defend." In addition, players can choose between three skills using Magic Points (MP) they receive every turn.

Modes

Automatic Mode: A function in the game that allows the player to play in automatic mode.

Accelerate Mode: A function in the game that allows the player to play at a faster pace.

Multiplayer Mode: Up to four players can play at the same time.

This mode allows a user to express how he/she feels during a situation using emoticon icons.

Intimate System

Story

The game's plot is supervised by series creator Kugane Maruyama and involves the player Momonga. It was stated to be set in the world of YGGDRASIL. Alongside Momonga, you opt not to log out of the game — and find yourself in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. As Momonga, now Ainz Ooal Gown, you must face the growing threats present in the now-offline game.

Momonga finds himself in the ruined library of Ashurbanipal. Sensing something to be wrong he heads immediately to the 10th Floor. To his horror he finds the last defense to the Throne Room, the Golems of Lemegeton to be destroyed. Entering the Throne Rooms he finds it in ruins and hears the sounds of a battle.
