The game uses a side-scrolling beat 'em up structure with character selection at the start. Each class offers different strengths, such as close-range combat, ranged attacks, support magic, or agility. Controls cover attacking, defending, jumping, using special techniques, and interacting with treasure chests and pickups. Stages often branch into different routes, and player choices can affect later encounters and rewards. Progress is driven by surviving stages, collecting gear and consumables, and learning boss patterns.

A ranged-oriented agile character with strong mobility.
Thief

Cleric

Stay mobile and avoid getting pinned down by groups. When possible, position enemy defeats to secure useful drops such as healing items and equipment. Choose branching routes based on the party's strengths and the kind of enemy pressure you want to face. Save special moves and items for boss encounters or dangerous crowd situations.
