❤ Spellcasting and Charged Attacks

Players can unleash four main types of magical spells - Arcane, Ice, Fire, and Thunder. Firing these spells normally is effective, but charging them up creates devastating attacks. The game rewards aggressive play, as landing hits on enemies will automatically charge up the spellcasting gauge, allowing players to use more powerful magic more frequently.

❤ Melee Combat and Mana Management

Alongside ranged spells, the protagonist also wields a staff for weaker melee strikes. These melee attacks serve an important purpose - they replenish the protagonist's mana when used. This risk/reward mechanic forces players to sometimes get up close and personal with enemies in order to maintain their spell-slinging capabilities.

❤ Dodging, Parrying, and Countering

Survival in the game's castle hinges on mastering the protagonist's evasive maneuvers. Well-timed dodges allow players to evade enemy attacks, while the parry and counter mechanics reward precise timing with brief enemy stuns and openings for retaliation.

❤ Exploration and Progression

Traversing the castle's winding corridors uncovers a variety of environmental puzzles and hidden pathways. Defeating foes grants "souls" that can be used to upgrade the protagonist's statistics, enabling players to tailor her abilities to their preferred playstyle.

❤ Difficulty and Replayability

The combat may be cute on the surface, but it demands strict discipline and mastery from players. Enemies and bosses hit hard and punish mistakes ruthlessly. However, the game's flexible difficulty settings and checkpoint system ensure accessibility, while the diverse spells and New Game+ mode provide excellent long-term replayability.
