Combat System
Combat takes place in a side‑scrolling view, letting players slash, smash, and thrust countless enemies while building stamina for powerful Possession Skills that can melt obstacles and large bosses.
Choosing reliable equipment and matching skills to the situation is essential as enemy patterns shift throughout battles.
