❤ Exploration and Traversal

Players control the battle tank SOPHIA III to navigate the game's expansive, interconnected overworld maps. These maps encourage thorough searching, as players can uncover new areas, upgrades, and pathways by carefully examining every corner. When players find a dungeon entrance, they can exit SOPHIA III and explore the dungeon in a top-down perspective as the protagonist Jason. This combination of side-scrolling tank exploration and top-down on-foot exploration creates a compelling "Metroidvania" style of gameplay. As players acquire new abilities and upgrades for both SOPHIA III and Jason, they can access previously inaccessible areas, rewarding their curiosity with hidden paths, destructible blocks, and clever platforming challenges.

❤ Diverse Gameplay Modes

The game features two distinct gameplay modes - tank combat and on-foot shooting. In SOPHIA III, players engage in side-scrolling shooting and platforming, using the tank's main cannon and a variety of sub-weapons to take down enemies and navigate the environment. When playing as Jason, the perspective shifts to a top-down angle, and the gameplay becomes more focused on run-and-gun shooting against the mutant enemies. Jason has his own set of upgradable weapons and abilities that complement the tank's firepower, allowing players to approach challenges in different ways. The seamless transition between these two gameplay styles, and the exploration that connects them, is a core part of the game's appeal.

❤ Weapon and Ability Upgrades

As players explore the world and defeat bosses, they uncover a variety of upgrades that enhance their offensive and traversal capabilities for both SOPHIA III and Jason. For the tank, players can find new main cannon types, such as the powerful Wave Beam, as well as additional sub-weapons like Missiles and Grenades. On the Jason side, players can find new gun types, as well as abilities like the Wall Jump and Hover, which expand the options for traversal and combat in the top-down dungeons. Maintaining a high weapon level is also important, as taking damage will cause Jason's gun to downgrade, requiring players to be cautious in combat. The interplay between SOPHIA III and Jason's upgrades creates a rewarding sense of progression, as players become increasingly powerful and capable of accessing new areas of the game world.
