The game uses an overhead grid map with turn-based movement and combat. Unit positioning, height differences, attack range, and elemental relationships all matter in battle. Between stages, players manage party composition, equip weapons and armor, and develop characters through experience points and class or stat progression. Missions are generally scenario-driven, with story conversations leading into set-piece battles and occasional objectives beyond simple defeat-all-enemies conditions.

Young Knight
The protagonist who is forced into leadership and commands the Flame Dragon Knights against the invading darkness.
Strategy
Keep fragile spellcasters behind the front line and use terrain elevation to gain damage and survivability advantages. Match elemental attacks to enemy weaknesses when possible, and avoid overextending melee units into clusters of enemies. Prioritize upgrading equipment for key frontline characters and keep a balanced party so you can handle both physical threats and enemy mages.
