Combat
The game launches with 4 stages, each featuring a unique set of adversaries. Each enemy type possesses distinct movement patterns and attacks, demanding players to showcase good coordination, quick reactions, and an understanding of the stronger foes' tactics. After each stage, players face formidable bosses, requiring specific approaches and skills.
Power-ups and Upgrades
Players can acquire various power-ups, helpful equipment, rocket ammunition, and diverse weaponry. On their journey, players encounter a variety of shops offering randomly generated cards with statistics, enhancements and aides.
Exploration
