The game takes place in dungeons within the Ivy Tower, and are filled with monsters. Players attempt to clear a floor of the dungeon and move on to the next. The monsters normally try to kill the player; the player's weapons to combat them include a sword, a bow and arrow, magic, amongst other weapons and skills. More damage is done if the player hits the monster from behind. There are also traps laid in the dungeons which not only hurt the player but also the enemies themselves.
