During single-player, players can find bone piles in dungeons and pay to resurrect them in town, recruiting them as AI-controlled fighting companions. All characters have the same basic moveset of attacking, dodging and jumping similar to classic beat 'em up games. While exploring dungeons, players move constantly from left to right, battling both standard enemies and boss monsters at the end of each stage. Players are always accompanied in dungeons by two NPCs the thief Rannie who unlocks treasure chests and doors, and the fairy Tiki who helps point out hidden treasure. Dungeons are reached either through a magical portal called the Gate, or after a certain point using the stables for a fee. Outside of town, players can explore nine dungeon environments in the surrounding lands each dungeon has two paths, one unlocked after the first run, and hidden areas. There players interact with different establishments populated by friendly non-player characters (NPCs) the Adventurers' Guild where quests are accepted and the player can unlock new Skills Morgan's Magic Shop where equipment can be repaired and upgraded Canaan Temple, where players can pay to resurrect bone piles found in dungeons and receive boons for dungeon runs and Lucain's Tower, which documents rune magic unlocked by the player.

Awesome Art: This a game by Vanillaware after all.
