MOVEMENT & COMBAT
Move with WASD or arrow keys. Walk into an enemy to engage in battle. Press E to interact with adjacent NPCs, chests, and stairs. Press . to wait one turn (triggers regen).
COMBAT
In battle you choose Attack (physical), Magic (opens spellbook — costs MP), Item (uses best potion), or Run (escape chance based on speed). Enemies may cast spells, drain HP, poison, or slow you. Crits deal 1.5× damage. Status effects tick each round.
SKILL TREES
Earn 1 skill point per level-up. Open the Skills tab to invest in class-specific abilities. Each node has up to 5 ranks and permanently improves your hero — damage, defense, healing power, crit, and more. Plan carefully!
ITEMS & AFFIXES
Items can have prefixes (e.g. "Savage Sword") and suffixes (e.g. "of Might") that grant bonus stats. Rarer items have higher base stats AND may carry 1–2 affixes. Hover items to see stats and how they compare to your equipped gear.
DEATH
When you fall in battle you may Return from Death — you lose 15% of your gold but return to town with partial HP/MP. Or choose Return to Title to load a save.
