Abstract: In a game which is implemented as a plurality of player characters move on a map, one or more desired player characters, from among the plurality of player characters, are moved toward a desired position on the map by means of an easy operation. A game is carried out on a game apparatus in which a touch panel is disposed on a front surface of a display device on which a game screen is displayed. All player characters 100 displayed in a range enclosed by means of an operation carried out on the touch panel in such a way as to enclose positions of the player characters 100 displayed on the game screen are set as selected characters. When a pressing operation has been carried out on the touch panel with respect to a position displayed on the game screen, a position on a field corresponding to the position input by means of the operation is set as a destination of the selected characters.

Abstract: When a player character applies a damage to an attack target character on the basis of an attack action of the player character, it is determined whether the attack is a direct attack or a specific kind of attack different from the direct attack and defined in advance. A panic reaction term of a panic reaction is determined in the case where it is determined that the attack is the specific kind of attack. In the panic reaction, the attack target character becomes a state where the attack target character cannot attack the player character and defend oneself from an attack from the player character. The panic reaction is executed until the panic reaction term elapses. A privilege is applied to the player character in the case where it is determined that the attack target character suffers the direct attack during execution of the panic reaction.

Abstract: A controller executes a special effect selection representation using a slot representation representing a slot machine when a fever accumulative value, which is accumulated by a player character doing damage to an enemy character, reaches a predetermined value, and a fever gauge becomes filled up, in accordance with a player's operation. The controller assigns a special effect to the player character in accordance with a result of the representation. Then, when the fever accumulative value is sequentially subtracted and reduced to an initial value, the assignment of the special effect to the player character is finished. Thus, the special effect to be assigned to the player character when predetermined selection allowance conditions are fulfilled is prevented from being specified in advance by the player, and increase the player's interest in a game.

Abstract: Specification of an attack for a player character is received by means of an attack specifying operation of the player. A direct attack reaction is determined in the case where it is determined that the attack hits an enemy character A. The direct attack reaction indicates a reaction of the direct attack target character that suffers the direct attack. The enemy character A is then caused to execute the determined direct attack reaction. In the case where it is determined that an indirect attack to be caused by contact between the enemy characters A, B hits an enemy character B when the enemy character A executes the direct attack reaction, an indirect attack reaction indicating a reaction of the enemy character B that suffers the indirect attack is determined. The enemy character B is then caused to execute the determined indirect attack reaction.
