The game uses a side-scrolling view, with players choosing one of four classes: Fighter, Mage, Priest, or Ninja. Combat centers on jumping, attacking, casting spells, and managing spacing against enemies and bosses. Defeated foes award experience and money, which are used to level up and buy stronger weapons, armor, and consumables in town. Progress is structured around exploration, enemy encounters, shop visits, and boss battles, with each class offering different offensive and defensive strengths.

Gameplay
Characters
Fighter
A melee-focused class with solid durability and straightforward attacks.
Mage
A spellcaster with powerful ranged magic but low defense.
Priest
A support-oriented class with healing and balanced survival tools.
Ninja
A fast, agile class that excels at quick offense and movement.

Strategy
Spend money on equipment upgrades early, as weapon and armor improvements make a noticeable difference. Learn enemy attack patterns and avoid rushing bosses; positioning and timing matter more than raw aggression. If you play as Mage, keep distance and use magic efficiently, while Priest and Fighter are generally safer choices for first-time players.
