This is a side-scrolling action game focused on moving through stages, defeating waves of enemies, and battling bosses. Players can attack, jump, defend, and dash, with each hero offering different speed, reach, and power. Experience gained from combat causes characters to level up, and their equipment changes visually as they grow stronger. Some stages feature mounted combat and large multi-enemy encounters that reward careful spacing and timing.
Arthur
The balanced lead character, suitable for beginners and steady play.
Lancelot
A faster fighter with strong mobility and combo potential.
Perceval
A heavy power-oriented character with stronger hits but slower movement.
Garibaldi
The main antagonist leading the hostile forces.
Focus on building levels quickly, because progression directly improves survivability and damage output. Avoid overcommitting in crowded fights and pick off ranged or surrounding enemies first. In mounted stages, use reach and movement carefully to avoid being trapped. Against bosses, learn their attack cues and punish safely after their recovery frames.
Tips and tricks
Lancelot is ideal if you want speed and aggressive pressure.
Tips and tricks
Perceval is a safer choice if you prefer strong, deliberate hits.
Tips and tricks
The armor and weapon upgrades provide a satisfying sense of progression.
