The game uses a horizontal side-scrolling format where players move through each stage, defeat waves of enemies, and face boss battles at the end. Each class plays differently, with unique attack range, speed, and magical abilities. Melee characters excel at close combat while ranged and spell-focused characters are better at controlling space. Defeated enemies grant experience, and leveling improves character power over time. Core controls center on attack, jump, and special/magic actions, with positioning and timing playing a major role in survival.
Fighter
A balanced front-line melee character suited to beginners.
Wizard
A spellcaster with strong area attacks and good control.
Elf
Fast and agile, with effective mid-range offense.
Cleric
A sturdy support-oriented class with solid survivability.
Dwarf
A powerful close-range fighter with strong burst damage.
Focus on eliminating ranged and spellcasting enemies first to avoid being overwhelmed. Against large monsters, use attack recovery windows and stage positioning to stay safe. Wizards and Elves should keep distance, while melee classes should look for openings after enemy attacks. Preserve resources before boss fights and take advantage of level-ups when facing tougher encounters.
