■Training Mode
The foundation of relay race victory lies in daily training. Identify the characteristics of each athlete and create training menus that balance speed, stamina, physical strength, and mental strength.
Choosing menus that match the type of athlete—speed-oriented, tenacious stamina-type, or emphasis on competitive spirit—will affect the efficiency of their growth.
Condition management is also an important job for the manager. Judging when and who to develop based on their current condition—that's the fun of this ekiden (long-distance relay race) training simulation.
Using items can boost abilities and accelerate growth. Furthermore, assigning skills suited to each runner significantly alters race dynamics and section suitability.
Even with the same overall strength, a team's power can vary greatly depending on skill configuration and section placement. This mode is about constantly considering "who to place in which section and how to develop them" as the manager.
■Gacha Mode (Scouting)
You can expand your team's strength by scouting runners through gacha. Encountering powerful players broadens the possibilities for order formation.
It's not just about filling numbers; scouting with a focus on the role of each section—leading, stamina, mountain runner, anchor, etc.—is crucial.
Utilizing players with skills and elements that allow for skill assignment can fill in the gaps that training alone can't address. Ekiden is a competition where not only overall strength but also "the right person in the right place" determines the outcome.
The basic cycle of this game involves acquiring players through gacha (loot boxes), training them in time trials and practice matches, and then using that information to create the final lineup for the 3D ekiden (long-distance relay race). It offers a familiar "team building" experience for long-distance running and track and field fans, but in a game format.
■Practice Matches, Time Trials, and Track Races
It's not just about jumping straight into the actual ekiden. You can develop your competitive edge in practice matches and challenge your individual times in time trials.
Track races allow you to test your speed and stamina under a different kind of pressure than in an ekiden. The results of your training are visible in times and rankings, making it easy to verify whether "today's training was effective."
Improving individual running directly impacts the team's ekiden strength.
Feed back the confidence and skills gained from time trials and track races into section assignments and strategies. A key feature of this long-distance simulation is that you can play both individual events and ekiden races.
■3D Ekiden Race (Highlight of the Main Game)
The ekiden race, rendered in authentic 3D graphics, is the greatest appeal of this app.
Watch and direct the sash relay from the perspective of a coach, with dynamic camera work. Make strategic decisions regarding sprints and other tactics while observing changes in rankings, the condition of the runners, and the flow of the course.
The immersive feeling of "overtaken/overtaken" in the 3D race, not just text results, gives meaning to training and team composition. Raise your rank, advance to higher stages, and aim to challenge the three major ekiden races.
The passion of this ekiden game is concentrated in these 3D races.
■Online Battle
You can also test your trained team in online battles against players nationwide. In the real-time battle mode, you can see if your training, team composition, and racing sense are effective. While you can play locally, there's also the fun of proving your skills online.
For those seeking ekiden, long-distance running, track and field, training simulation, 3D racing, and online battles. As a director, experience the process of shaving off every single second.
