The game uses a third-person 3D perspective and centers on exploration across towns, ruins, and underground complexes. Combat combines lock-on shooting, handgun fire, and melee attacks, with enemies placed in both open areas and enclosed stages. Progress is driven by story missions, item collection, and upgrades purchased with refractors. Players also solve light puzzles, navigate platforming sections, and occasionally use vehicles or special traversal tools.

Strategy
Invest early in weapon upgrades that improve damage and firing speed, since they make the early ruins much easier. Talk to NPCs often, as side quests and progression clues are frequently hidden in dialogue. Enter ruins with enough recovery items, and use lock-on targeting to handle fast enemies more safely. In tougher fights, keep distance and use terrain or cover to avoid being overwhelmed.
Cheats
No widely verified universal cheat code is confirmed.
Tips
Tips and tricks
- Spend refractors first on upgrades that improve handling and combat effectiveness.
