The game uses side-scrolling exploration rather than a top-down field. Players jump, climb, and use special perception skills to uncover paths, hidden items, and character events. Battles are real-time and command-based: each party member is mapped to a button, allowing chained attacks within a turn for aerial juggles and combo setups. Progression depends on experience, equipment, crystals, and skill management, while recruiting and sending warriors to Asgard affects available rewards and story outcomes.

Lenneth Valkyrie

The player character and divine recruiter of souls.

Odin

King of the gods who assigns Lenneth her mission.

Freya

A major goddess connected to recruitment and judgment.

Focus resources on a small core party so weapons, crystals, and skill growth are not spread too thin. Use map traversal abilities carefully to search for hidden chests and alternate routes. In battle, aim to keep combo chains active and exploit launch attacks to finish enemies quickly. Before each chapter ends, consider which souls to send to Asgard, since recruitment choices influence later progression and endings.
