The game uses a top-down grid battlefield where units move by turn, attack, use abilities, and consume items. Each character has a role, weapon type, and growth path, while Oni-based powers provide special combat options. Missions typically involve defeating all enemies, protecting allies, or reaching objective points. Between battles, characters gain experience and stronger equipment, shaping how later maps are approached.

Strategy
Keep your front line together and avoid sending fragile units out alone. Use terrain and positioning to limit enemy movement, then focus fire on dangerous targets first. Save healing items for boss maps or high-pressure encounters, and try to enter important battles with your team fully equipped. Special roles should be used consistently so each unit can contribute to damage, support, or control.
