This game mixes turn-based combat with platforming and a leveling system. At the same time, it introduces turn-limitations that push the player to defeat enemies in as few turns as possible. This battle system is called "relative time action role-playing."
Although in screenshots, the game may look like a typical action platformer, monsters only move or take action when the player does (similar to games like Shiren the Wanderer), making the battle stages play out more like a game of chess. As the player proceeds through the game, they will level up, gaining strength and new items and abilities (which will come in handy when revisiting older stages to break old records).
The plot of the game concerns a grand battle that involves mythical gods and monstrous creatures both big and small. The player takes the role of an orphaned child, the son of one of the four Warriors who served the Goddess of the Mountains on Gotou Island.
