The game uses a side-scrolling perspective and lets players choose from multiple characters, each with different shot types, sword attacks, and magic performance. You must dodge enemy fire while using melee attacks to clear close threats. Enemies drop coins and items that support upgrades or resources, and progress continues stage by stage toward large bosses with distinct attack patterns.
Kashon
A main playable hero known for balanced swordplay and magic.
Tyora
A selectable character noted for agile attacks and effective spell use.
Vipros
A playable character with a distinct combat rhythm and magical style.
Learn your chosen character's shot coverage and melee reach first. Use sword attacks against nearby enemies instead of always retreating. During boss fights, focus on memorizing patterns and holding strong magic for the most dangerous phases. Collect coins and power-up items steadily, but do not risk unnecessary hits just to grab drops.
