Players build a party of adventurers and move between the overworld, towns, and underground dungeons. Combat is turn-based and command driven, requiring management of health, mana, gear, and spells. Progression comes through leveling, equipment upgrades, quests, and uncovering areas locked behind keys, switches, and puzzles. Exploration is mostly first-person, while battles use menu-based actions.
