The game uses a side-view, horizontal-scrolling perspective. Players guide one of three characters through a sequence of fantasy stages, defeating formations of airborne enemies, ground foes, and large bosses.

A character can fly and fire projectiles, then engage nearby enemies with melee attacks or magic. Movement between aerial and ground encounters is central to survival. Progression comes from clearing stages, defeating bosses, and collecting or managing resources used for stronger attacks and spells.

Learn the timing of each character's melee attack before relying on it against bosses. Use ranged fire to control distant enemies, then attack grounded or exposed targets when the screen is clear.

Conserve powerful magic for dense enemy formations and dangerous boss patterns. Staying mobile is usually safer than holding one position, especially when the game shifts between aerial shooting and ground combat.
