The game uses an overhead exploration view paired with turn-based battles. Players move through towns, deserts, and ruins, talk to NPCs, buy items, and enter dungeons to advance the story. In combat, you command multiple party members to attack, cast spells, use support abilities, and manage healing items carefully. Progress is largely linear, with new allies, stronger equipment, and expanded options unlocking as the story advances.

Strategy
Stock up on healing items before entering long dungeons, and keep your equipment updated whenever a town offers upgrades. In battle, eliminate enemies that inflict status effects or cast group magic first to reduce risk. Talk to NPCs often, since many key hints are delivered through brief dialogue. When the party grows stronger, return to earlier areas only if you need money or experience.
