When the game to be played is a so-called turn-based strategy game, in the example shown in (2) of FIG. Then, on the third turn, "action D" is performed, on the fourth turn, "action A" is performed, and on the fifth turn, "action B" is performed. When the action information stored in the storage device is information indicating a plurality of actions, the information indicating each action is stored in the order in which each action was performed.

As shown in (3) of FIG. 1, after the end of the battle game, a new battle game is started in which the user game medium battles another enemy game medium or the same enemy game medium as the previously fought enemy game medium. When initiated, behavior information of the user game content stored in the storage device is extracted. The timing for extracting action information is any timing (at the time of determining a new competitive game, at the start, or after the start of the new competitive game) as long as it is before the user game medium performs the first (or first turn) action in the new competitive game. etc.).

As shown in (4) of FIG. 1, in the new battle game, the user game content performs actions based on the extracted action information. In the example shown in (4) of FIG. 1, the user game medium performs "action A" for the first time (or the first turn), performs "action C" for the second time (or the second turn), ``Action D'' is performed on the 4th time (or 3rd turn), ``Action A'' is performed on the 4th time (or 4th turn), and ``Action B'' is performed on the 5th time (or 5th turn).

As described above, the game system, terminal device, and/or server device of the present embodiment store one or more actions performed by the user game media in the game, and in later games, the user game media , has the function of causing one or more stored actions to be performed. As described above, the game system, terminal device, and/or server device according to the present embodiment can reproduce the proceeding procedure of the game previously played by the user.
