It is very similar to cross edge with the titles, monsters and everything, only thing that's different is that u get 6 ppl to move and ur character changes as u progress to the next "story" so to say.
I will say i am also one of those rare that enjoyed cross edge
Also the only way u can play this game with one hand is if ur equipment is good enough and u can survive the auto battling against the enemies
Otherwise ur going to have to be using the typical two hands like everyone else for most of the game.
