These requirements apply to the Windows build. For a phone or tablet, check compatibility on the mobile store page reached through Nexon's download options.

Languages, Controls, and What to Expect

The Steam version supports English, Traditional Chinese, Thai, and Korean, with full audio support in Korean. Choose your preferred text language with that voice-language distinction in mind.

On PC, the game includes a mouse-only control option, subtitle options, custom volume controls, and stereo sound. Those features are useful to review if you want to play primarily with a mouse or adjust dialogue and audio presentation.

Two other Steam features to keep in mind:

• Single-player: The game includes single-player play.

Once you're in, you take the role of Sensei in Kivotos, guiding students through a story-driven anime RPG. Combat centers on forming squads and combining students' different combat abilities. Build your squad around how those abilities work together, then adjust your strategy for each challenge.

Kivotos brings school life and military operations into the same setting. Your role as a teacher takes you through school events, secret missions, and club antics, while the broader story explores friendship, resilience, growth, victory, and loss. Individual students have their own motivations, giving the cast personal stories alongside the squad's shared adventures.

Outside combat, character stories and MomoTalk conversations give you more time with the students. Expect a mix of tactical battles, student recruitment through a gacha system, and story scenes using both 2D and 3D animation.

Recruitment adds students with different combat elements and their own stories to your roster. Team formations and synergy are part of the tactical experience, with each student's abilities contributing to the squad. Experiment with combinations that bring those abilities together as you work through battles and develop your strategies.

Relationship episodes explore individual students through everyday interactions and private conversations. MomoTalk reveals additional sides of their personalities, with character moments ranging from warm exchanges to dramatic events. These episodes make getting to know the students part of the adventure alongside leading them in combat.

The game contains suggestive images and dialogue, and access can be restricted for certain age groups. Review the age requirements for your chosen platform before installing.
