The game uses an overhead exploration view and turn-based battles. Players guide Isaac’s party through towns, overworld routes, and dungeons, using Psynergy to move objects, activate mechanisms, and solve environmental puzzles. In combat, Djinn alter class setups and stats, while charged summons deliver powerful elemental attacks. Character growth comes from levels, equipment, and flexible Djinn assignments.

Strategy
Try to collect Djinn from every element early so your party can access more flexible class combinations. In dungeons, experiment with Psynergy on walls, statues, switches, and terrain features; many secrets are hidden behind obvious-looking scenery. For bosses, keep healing items ready and adjust Djinn setups to balance offense, defense, and recovery. Save summons for key moments rather than using them immediately.
