    The gameplay follows a classic action RPG loop of dungeon crawling, monster hunting, loot collection, and gear upgrading, beginning with a solo tutorial before progressing to group play with NPC companions who have storylines and permadeath. This blend offers both familiar mechanics and added depth through companion dynamics.

    • “The basic gameplay loop should be familiar for anyone who's played a modern ARPG; delve dungeons, kill monsters, collect loot, upgrade your gear, and return to town to rest and resupply.”
    • “The gameplay loop revolves around some solo play as a "tutorial", then finding a group with NPCs or with companions (also NPCs but with a story and permadeath) and venturing with them in the dungeon.”

    • “The gameplay loop revolves around some solo play as a 'tutorial', then finding a group with NPCs or companions (also NPCs but with a story and permadeath) and venturing with them in the dungeon.”
