It has anime, you buy weapons, potions, magic, the only difference is that it's not a turn-based fight, you actually have to tap continuously on your screen to fight monsters. It's tiresome but fun.

Well, it means taking control of your PC from another device like a laptop, another desktop, or your mobile phone.
Why would you want to this? Well, for a number of reasons. You might like to have access your PC while you're away, or you might want someone to see your desktop in real time like if they're troubleshooting your PC.
