The game uses a side-scrolling arcade perspective. Players move through stages, defeat waves of enemies, and clear each area to advance the story. Each hero has melee attacks, jumps, and unique spells, with combat centered on spacing, timing, and resource management. Items and power-ups can improve survivability, and stage bosses usually require pattern recognition and careful positioning.

Against bosses, watch for attack tells and punish openings instead of rushing in. Save defensive resources for moments when you are surrounded or cornered.
