Just like that game, RF ONLINE NEXT is set on the faraway planet of Novus, where advanced technology is available alongside magic. Gematsu got their hands on a detailed description of the game's mechanics provided by Netmarble:
The battles in RF ONLINE NEXT are based on science-fiction motifs and provide a unique combat experience compared to other fantasy games.

The game also features the ability to summon giant robots to assist in battles or to pilot them.
