The game uses a side-view perspective. The selected hero advances through horizontally scrolling fantasy stages, defeats monsters, avoids hazards, collects items, and searches for the exit. Platforms, ladders, pits, locked passages, and hidden areas make movement as important as direct combat.

Each character has a distinct fighting style and can use weapons or magic. Players progress through multiple stages with checkpoints and battles against stronger enemies and bosses. Route choices and the selection of a hero affect how the adventure is played.

Learn enemy attack patterns before rushing forward. Keep enough room to retreat, especially when several enemies approach from both sides, and inspect platforms and side paths for useful items.

Choose a character that matches the stage. The Warrior is forgiving in direct fights, the Valkyrie offers a balanced option, and the Wizard is most effective when magic is used carefully rather than spent immediately.
