❤ Crafting Unique Combat Styles

The game's core combat system allows players to freely combine over 145 different "Combat Scrolls" representing individual techniques like slashes, thrusts, jumps, and special abilities. By arranging these scrolls, players can craft their own unique combat styles and combos. Examples include spinning slash attacks, lightning-infused projectiles, and devastating multi-hit combos. Reviewers highlight the flexibility to experiment and discover powerful new move combinations as a major draw of the gameplay.

❤ Adapting to Procedural Challenges

The game utilizes a roguelite structure, with randomly generated levels and enemy encounters that change with each playthrough. This encourages repeated experimentation, as players must adapt their customized fighting styles to the randomized challenges they face. Defeating enemy generals unlocks their unique weapons, armor, and abilities, which can then enhance players' arsenals in subsequent runs, contributing to a sense of progression.

❤ Blending Playstyles

Players can mix and match different abilities to create their own customized fighting styles, blending elements like ranged attacks, heavy-hitting melee strikes, crowd control, and elemental weaknesses. Reviewers appreciate how this encourages discovery of synergistic combinations, such as launching enemies into the air for aerial strikes or quickly switching between fire, ice, and lightning attacks.

❤ Rewarding Progression

As players progress, they unlock permanent upgrades and new playable characters, each with distinct move sets and abilities. Defeating enemy generals not only grants their unique equipment but also unlocks them as playable options. Optional puzzle challenges further enhance players' capabilities, adding depth to the progression system and keeping them invested in continued play.
