The game includes two storylines: Dragon Track and Bonding Journey. In Dragon Track, the player will follow the original story with the main characters including Dai, Popp, and Maam. Bonding Journey is a brand-new story written under the supervision of Riku Sanjo, the story writer of the original manga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonding Journey takes place in the mysterious world of Milladosia, which bears a striking resemblance to the world seen in <em>The Adventure of Dai, <\/em>and introduces new characters as well. Players will travel between the two worlds and forge bonds with their friends as they fight.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"720\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001.jpg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001-380x304.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001-696x557.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210907-174932-001-525x420.jpg 525w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gameplay-wise, players will engage in three-lane battles.
