X Engine

The X Engine (also known as the Cake Engine) is the gameplay engine created by X-Scissor, used in most of the role-playing games created by the company. However, there are a few RPGs by X-Scissor that do not use the engine, such as Pikachu Fighters. The engine is a basic JRPG system in which battles are turn-based. In every game in which the X Engine is used, two-dimensional sprites are used.

 * Overly Henry RPG
 * Kyokutan!
 * Fantendo Legends (somewhat modified)
 * Light Chronicles
 * Red Strings (somewhat modified)

Synopsis
In battle, you go to a completely different screen than the overworld, and characters take turns attacking. Only up to four characters may be in a team as once. All four characters choose their attacks individually. Outside of battle, the player controls the most important character. When you run into an enemy or boss, you are taken to a different screen. Similar to Super Mario RPG, whenever a player attacks, they can do some kind of command to make their attack deal more damage than usual. In the overworld, you may go to stores and spend money to buy items or equipment (usually Yen {¥}).

Commands

 * Bash - A normal attack that cannot be modified in any way, and they can always be used.
 * Special Attacks - Attacks that deal more damage than Bash attacks. They can be modified to change their power.
 * Items - Use Items found along the way to help your performance in battle.
 * Tactics - Battle skills that may help your performance in battle.
 * Defend - This command will make attacks from the opponent deal less damage than normal.
 * Flee - Escape from a battle with enemies. You may not flee from boss battles.

Stats

 * HP - The unit of health. If you lose all of your HP, the character is KO'd and is unable to battle.
 * Offence - Determines how much damage the attack of a character deals. Often you may get "Critical" attacks, which will raise your Offense for one attack.
 * Special Offence - Determines how much damage special attacks deal. You may often get "Sparking!", which will raise your Special Attack for a matter of three turns.
 * Speed - Determines which characters attack first in battle. If you have higher Speed, you attack first. If you have lower Speed, you attack last. Also, the higher speed you have, the higher chance there is of your opponent's attack missing.
 * Defence - Determines how much damage attacks deal on a character. Often, you may get "Powerful" and attacks will not deal as much damage on you.
 * Chi - The points unit for Special Attacks. It takes up a certain amount of Chi to do an attack, so when you run out of Chi, you cannot do Special Attacks any longer.
