The game uses a top-down overworld and turn-based battles. Players move through towns, dungeons, and world layers while talking to NPCs, collecting key items, and advancing the story. Parties can include humans, mutants, and monsters, each with a different growth model: humans improve through gear, mutants gain random abilities after battles, and monsters transform by consuming other monsters. Progress is driven by exploring the tower, clearing floor-based challenges, and defeating major bosses.

Common enemy units found throughout the tower and connected worlds.
Final antagonist

Strategy
Equip humans with strong weapons and keep armor updated often. Mutants are best used with patience, since their abilities change unpredictably over time. Monsters can be powerful early on, but their form depends on what they consume. Speak to NPCs whenever possible, since many provide direction for the next objective. For difficult bosses, raise HP and defensive stats first, then adjust party roles to exploit weaknesses.
