The game uses a top-down perspective. The main objective is to travel through mythological regions, complete quests, defeat enemies, recover important items, and rescue the kidnapped goddess Persephone.

Players explore towns, wilderness, temples, caves, and other areas while using melee weapons, thrown objects, magical items, and consumables. Progression is driven by story events, equipment discoveries, puzzles, and access to new locations. A second player can join cooperative play as another hero.

Explore each area thoroughly before leaving. Break or inspect suspicious objects, speak with townspeople, and collect consumables because useful items are often needed for later encounters.

Use the hero whose strengths fit the situation: keep Atlanta at range, use Herc when enemies can be overwhelmed directly, and use Jason for a more flexible approach. Save powerful items for bosses and crowded rooms rather than spending them on ordinary enemies.
