The game uses an overhead tactical battlefield with turn-based movement, attacks, and command control. Players deploy heroes, troops, and hired units across grid-based maps, using terrain, class matchups, and positioning to gain an advantage. Battles often feature mission-specific victory and defeat conditions, while story choices can route the player into different chapters and endings.
