How it plays
How does 8 Eyes play?
The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Orin travels through eight stages, fighting enemies, crossing platforms, climbing ladders, and navigating hazards before confronting each area’s guardian.
Orin attacks with his sword and can jump or crouch to manage enemies and terrain. Cutrus fights alongside him and can be directed to attack targets, making positioning important. Defeating guardians yields the jewels needed to advance the story and complete the final objective.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play 8 Eyes?
Learn enemy placement before committing to an attack, especially near pits and ladders. Orin’s sword has limited reach, so approach enemies carefully and use jumps or crouching to avoid unfavorable exchanges.
Use Cutrus to pressure enemies while Orin stays out of danger. The selectable stage order allows difficult areas to be postponed, and careful health management is important because checkpoints and recovery opportunities are limited.

- 3
Remember stage layouts and guardian patterns; repeated attempts are part of the progression.
