You will explore the perilous archipelagos of Terra, engaging in grid-based exploration and turn-based tactical combat. The game is notable for its intricate puzzles and a distinctive interface where character portraits visually reflect their current health, poison, or status in real time.

Tips
- Equip everyone with ranged weapons as early as possible. Since enemies are visible on the map and approach in real-time, you can soften them up with volleys of arrows before they reach melee range.
- Learn and utilize the Jump and Teleport spells; they are essential for avoiding floor traps, crossing gaps, and navigating dungeons efficiently.
- Keep a close eye on your party’s portraits at the bottom of the screen. Their facial expressions will change to instantly warn you if they are poisoned, diseased, or near death.
