Controls to learn before your first fight

Check

In short Every button has a role in combat, so running through all of them once before you fight seriously will save you a lot of frustration.

The game is built around a small but layered control set. Attack and block are on your mouse buttons, while movement tools and special actions sit on specific keys.

Left mouse button swings your weapon to attack
Right mouse button raises your block to defend
Shift sprints when you have no weapon equipped
R dashes sideways to reposition quickly
F kicks to break an opponent's guard
Left mouse button then right mouse button performs a feint
T taunts your opponent
CTRL toggles shiftlock to change how you aim and move

Core combat tactics

Tips

In short Mixing your guard, dash, feint, and kick together is what separates a player who wins from one who just swings and hopes.

Raw aggression will only get you so far. Your opponents will block, so you need ways to crack their defense open. The tools for both offense and defense are all already mapped to your keyboard and mouse.

Tips worth knowing

Block incoming attacks with RMB
Use your kick when an opponent has their block up — it is specifically designed to break guards
Feint by attacking and immediately blocking to trick your opponent into dropping their defense
Dash away with R when you need to escape an attack or reset the spacing between you

Map exploration and weapon hunting

Tips

In short The map hides weapons, skins, and fighting arenas across its open world.

The world is set in the mountains of Japan and contains multiple combat arenas, hidden secrets, and weapon locations spread throughout. Weapons and limited skins are placed at specific spots rather than given to you at the start.

Tips worth knowing

Walk the full map — cover areas outside the main fighting arenas to find hidden spots
Pick up weapons you find — swap between them to figure out which style suits you
Check special or out-of-the-way locations for limited skins

Quests and long-term goals

Table

In short The game's badge-backed questlines and currency goals give you concrete targets to work toward beyond just winning individual fights.

Several official questlines are built into the game, each tracked by a dedicated badge when you finish them. On top of that, accumulating Yen and putting serious hours into the game each produce their own rewards.

Bell questline	completing the full Ringathon quest chain earns the Ringathon badge
Oni Nightmare questline	finishing it earns the Oni Nightmare Quest badge
Peeka questline	completing it earns the Peeka Quest badge
Oni Resurrection questline	finishing it earns the Oni Resurrection badge
Yen goal	collecting over 350,000 Yen earns the Money Maker badge
Playtime goal	staying in the game for over 10 consecutive hours earns the Dedication badge

Glossary

Feint: A move where you begin an attack and immediately block, making your opponent think the attack is real so they react and leave themselves open.
Guard Break: What the kick (F key) does — it forces through an opponent's block so you can land a hit.
Dash: A quick lateral movement triggered by the R key, used to dodge attacks or change your position mid-fight.
Shiftlock: A camera and movement mode toggled with CTRL that changes how precisely you can aim and move.
Yen: The in-game currency you collect, with 350,000 Yen being the threshold for the Money Maker badge.
Clan: A group of players who compete together on the multiplayer leaderboard.
Skin: A cosmetic item that changes the appearance of your weapon.
Questline: A series of tasks built around a specific theme, such as the Bell or Oni Nightmare chains, that reward a badge on completion.

Common questions

FAQ

How do I get quest badges?

Each badge-backed questline — the Bell (Ringathon), Oni Nightmare, Peeka, and Oni Resurrection chains — must be completed in full. The badge is awarded automatically when you finish the final step of the relevant questline.
