The game uses a side-scrolling arcade perspective. Players move through stages, defeat waves of enemies, and clear each area to advance the story. Each hero has melee attacks, jumps, and unique spells, with combat centered on spacing, timing, and resource management. Items and power-ups can improve survivability, and stage bosses usually require pattern recognition and careful positioning.

Valtor

A strength-focused warrior built for close-range offense.

Quarion

A balanced adventurer with well-rounded combat ability.

Barton

A fast, agile character suited to quick strikes and mobility.

Kalgad

A magic-leaning fighter who can pressure enemies with spells.

Learn each character's range and spell cost, and avoid wasting magic on weak enemies. Lure groups into tight spaces so area attacks are more effective. Against bosses, watch for attack tells and punish openings instead of rushing in. Save defensive resources for moments when you are surrounded or cornered.
