Overview and Gameplay
A modern druid faces the Warlock in a licensed horror-fantasy action game built around six ancient runestones. Each stage sends the player through side-view areas filled with enemies, hazards, portals, and hidden spell resources. Progress depends on finding the required runestone before moving on, not on score chasing.
Controls And Mechanics
- Magic blast: the main attack can also be aimed diagonally with directional input.
- Jumping and rolling: movement includes platforming, crouching, and a roll used to pass danger or collect items.
- Orb control: holding the orb button lets the player steer a magical orb in different movement patterns.
- Spells: collected spells are selected with the shoulder buttons and cast from the spell window.
- Single-player only: there is no alternating, versus, simultaneous, or co-op two-player mode.
