The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Players guide Orin through castles and underground areas, jumping over pits, avoiding traps, and fighting enemies. Cutrus can be directed to scout ahead, attack foes, or interact with certain situations, making him an important tactical tool. Progress is built around clearing stages, finding useful items, and defeating bosses at the end of each castle.
