The game uses an overhead world map, towns, dungeons, and turn-based battles. The party is made up of four characters who advance through story events rather than random structure alone. There are no conventional experience levels; HP, magic, attributes, and weapon proficiency improve based on what the characters actually do in combat. Progress is driven by quests, NPC conversations, and dungeon exploration, with a strong emphasis on party customization.

Strategy
Keep your core weapons and spells in regular use so their proficiency rises consistently. Don't spread training too thin across too many weapon types early on. Heal and status recovery items are important, especially before longer dungeons. When enemies hit hard, defensive setup and evasion matter more than raw offense in many encounters.
Cheats
No reliable official cheat code is commonly documented.
Tips
Tips and tricks
