The environments in this game vary depending on the world you find yourself exploring, but they follow a fairly straightforward formula. The only downside to this combat is that it, outside of boss fights, it can become repetitive once you get your formula down. A few rounds later, at third gear, they unlock a magical girl transformation sequence and their Reflector form, which comes with more powerful attacks and skills. After a few rounds, that limit will increase to 2000, when the girls hit their second gear. When combat starts, the girls will only be able to use skills of 1000 ether. Balancing this speed versus power as well as focusing on enemy weaknesses or resistances are the main keys to battle. As a fight rages on, the player must choose if they want to use a quicker attack that uses less ether or save it up for one larger attack. Rather than having skills that are fuelled by MP, attacks require “ether” which builds up over time in combat. The gameplay of Blue Reflection: Second Light has a good twist on the typical turn-based combat. It also highlights the sense that these are normal girls who have been thrust into an otherworldly situation, something that helps ground the otherwise fantastical story.

The world beyond the school grounds is nothing but a vast, blue ocean. This game focuses on a group of young women who find themselves trapped in a school over the summer term. There are some elements that will spark the memory of returning fans but none of it is necessary to follow the story.
