Before you start — two things to check

Check
In short Getting your setup right before your first fight saves a lot of frustration.

The game warns up front that it is hard for new players and is not meant for mobile. Sorting these two things out before you load in makes the whole experience smoother.

  • Play on PC the game is not recommended to be played on a mobile device.
  • If flashing lights bother you, open the settings and turn on Reduce Screen Flash before entering any fight.
  • Check that your keybindings feel natural every hotkey can be changed in settings.

Core controls

Summary
In short Four keys cover almost everything you will do in a fight.

The control scheme is tight. Most of the time you are working with just a handful of keys, and the game lets you remap all of them if the defaults do not suit you.

  • Z and X your main abilities for every class.
  • Q dash in the direction you are walking.
  • C and V extra abilities that become available on higher-tier classes.
  • Settings all of the above can be rebound to whatever layout works for you.

Advanced goals — Boss Rush and challenge badges

Tips
In short Clearing the Boss Rush and hunting challenge badges are the main targets once you have worked through the standard boss roster.

Beyond the individual bosses, two major goals exist for players who want to push further. Both reward badges that cannot be earned any other way.

Tips worth knowing
  • Completing the Boss Rush earns the Champion badge.
  • Challenge: Carnellio's RNG awards a badge with a 1-in-1,000,000 chance condition and does not grant the standard Draconic class unlock.
  • Challenge: Carnellio Alt Combos is a separate challenge badge also tied to Carnellio and also does not grant Draconic.
  • Defeating Cazar a second time as the Fallen Warrior variant earns Eternal Destruction and the ELEMENTAL class.

Common questions

FAQ

Can I play this on my phone?

The game itself warns that mobile is not recommended. Play on PC if you can.

How do I get new classes?

Beat a boss and the class tied to that boss unlocks. Each boss in the roster gives a different class.

Does beating Carnellio in the RNG challenge give me the Draconic class?

No. Both Carnellio challenge badges explicitly do not grant Draconic.

The lights are hurting my eyes — what do I do?

Open the game settings and enable Reduce Screen Flash. The game contains flashing lights and includes this option specifically to reduce them.
