During gameplay, players will utilize combos and various attacks to get through enemies who stand in their way. The game features pixel art designs and plenty of blood to make anyone feel a little sick. The game also features bosses that require a bit of strategy and planning as players need to memorize their attack patterns.

Players will be able to customize their character by learning new skills and upgrading their character’s abilities. Such as with a “Sacred Lunge”, which perfects the lunge technique and makes better use of the dodge impulse to make it reach further.
