Build a character by collecting dice, items, and blessings; dice and items can be upgraded, while blessings cannot. Items have limited uses, which usually reset each turn. A map lets players choose which areas to visit, including locations marked for random events that can bring bonuses or challenges. The game includes over 100 items and 30 blessings. Each of its three worlds has a boss that must be defeated to advance, with the final boss at the end of the progression.
