NOoooooooooooooooooo. 
the battle system work like this,your guys are equipped with guns and machine guns,machine guns hit deal "scratch damage" which is basicaly imaginary damage,and gun hit turns the imaginary damage into real damage so the idea is that you first weaken the enemy with machine gun attack and then finish them off with gun attack,at the bottom of the screen you have crystals,you can use a crystal to dash into a straight line and as long as you are running you can attack infinitely thus being able to hit an enemy 3-4 times,it also enable you to get behind an enemy as some enemy have shield (which of course can be destroyed with enough scratch damage) and other thing that protect them,if you get your party to surround an enemy you can also waste 3 crystal all at once to have all of them circle and gunning the enemy
if you take too much damage or one of your party member dies your crystal shatter and the other party member go into a panic and stop attacking
the best thing about the game is customizing your gun,you can add muzzler and cartridge and the like until you create very OP and dumb looking guns
so yeah it's nothing like VP
