Equipments can be held by beasts, and can be used repeatedly. Balls (膠囊) and Technical Machines (秘技) are categorized in Consumables. Items are separated into three categories: Consumables, Equipments, and Key Items.
Partner Beasts can't be deposited, and each has a special function in the overworld, such as hopping over pits, allowing the player to move along water, or cut down obstacles blocking a path. Each Partner Beast has its own stats, and these stats and levels aren't carried over to the next player's Partner Beast, so each one needs to be raised individually. So if the player switches from Ballot to Lante, then Bladeberus will be replaced with Muserode in the player's roster. Partner Beasts can only be used by that specific character (meaning only Ballot can use Bladeberus, Buck can only use Beattro, etc.) If the player changes characters, the previous person's Partner Beast is replaced with the new character's beast. One aspect that the game shares to Digimon is that each of the main heroes have their own Partner Beast. One monster, Fungus Fairy, is a prime example of this disbalance. For example, One-Hit KO moves have high accuracy, Some of high-damage inflicting moves (like Close Combat (無雙)) have too much PP for it, Shop and Beast Center are available at most places, and Star Beasts can be inflicted with multiple status ailments, such as paralysis, poison, and sleep, all at once.
Another thing to note is that this game lacks balance. This happens even if just one of your beasts faint. Instead, the battle ends and your monsters are brought up to 1 HP. One thing different about the game from Pokémon is that if your team faints, you're not sent to a Healing Center. There are 8 types of the Beasts: Fight (鬥), Light (光), Shadow (闇), Fire (火), Water (水), Wood (草/木), Earth( 土), and Air (飛/風). Strangely, you can only view their Special Attack stat when they level up. Star Beasts have stats similar to Pokémon Hit Points, Attack (攻擊), Defense (防禦), Special Attack (法力), Special Defense (魔防), and Speed (速度). There is also a Pokédex-type device, except there's no search function and it only provides basic trivia on the beasts there's no stats, battle cry, or nest-searching function. Unlike Pokémon, there is no multiplayer support such as trading or battling. You can have up to six beasts with you at all times, and the other beasts you've captured are stored in PCs. Boss monsters can't be captured, and there's no nicknaming feature in the game. The game itself is a mix between Pokémon and Digimon you encounter Star Beasts during your travels which you can either fight or capture using Pokéball-style items called Capture Orbs. The game involves the main player collecting Engine Crystal pieces (動力晶片) to power an ancient spaceship once used to divert a similar event in the past. With his new-and-improved pet, the Blue Soul Dog, by his side, Ballot goes on an adventure to find his father and discover the secrets of the Star Beasts. Not only that, but due to a strange meteor shower caused by a vortex in space, the creatures of Earth have mutated into "Star Beasts" including Ballot's faithful pet dog, Whitey. Two days after this discovery, Ballot's father disappears, only leaving behind his journal as to where he went. One day, his father makes an unusual discovery: the moon is glowing a blue hue. The game tells the story of a young boy named Ballot whose father is a brilliant astronomer.
