Instead of skill trees, characters gain skills through equipment. There are also real-time shoot ’em up sequences and quick time events that apply bonuses during combat. Players can adjust how difficult these quick time challenges are. Combats can be redone at will, but the only way to change equipment or the difficulty level is to load a saved game.

It features pixel art graphics. While exploring, players can interact with non-player characters and choose dialogue options based on personality traits related to astrological signs. These choices affect how the game progresses.
