The game uses a third-person perspective with free movement through towns, ruins, and outdoor areas. Combat revolves around lock-on shooting with a primary buster and additional weapons, along with jumping, dashing, and close-range actions. Ruins are structured like multi-floor dungeons filled with switches, keys, traps, and collectible items. Progress comes from accepting jobs, selling artifacts, upgrading weapons, and opening access to deeper ruin sections and stronger enemies.

Upgrade your main weapon early, especially for rate of fire and power. Take ruin jobs regularly to build up money for equipment and recovery items. Before entering deeper areas, stock healing supplies and look for hidden passages and wall corners. Against Reaverbots, eliminate ranged foes first, then clear melee threats. For bosses, keep moving and wait for safe lock-on openings.

Tips

Return to town often to restock so you do not get stuck deep in a ruin without supplies.

Tips

Sell excavation finds to prioritize upgrades for the weapons you use most.

Tips

Some rooms respawn enemies, so clearing them can make exploration safer for a while.
