Game review via Marvelous USA:

The story

Falling of the Skies – A disaster caused by the fall of a giant object on the eastern lands known as Azuma. The devastating impact sent chunks of terrain into the sky above and the seas below. As the earth split apart, the power given by the runes stopped flowing. The nature gods soon disappeared. Mountains crumbled, fields dried up, people were left with nothing… not even hope.

You wake up, terrified of the desire to fight dragons. You don't remember how or why, but a voice resonates within you.

“Embrace the power of the Earth Dancer. Use this power to save the earth.”
