The broad genre mix gives the game several activity types, but it trades a sharply focused progression loop for shifts between combat, exploration, farming, construction, puzzles, and resource gathering.

Players explore varied island environments, meet spirit companions, place spirits into eggs, and raise monsters that evolve along multiple paths influenced by fighting style. The game combines town building, resource gathering, crafting, farming, puzzles, mini-games, and animated side-view turn-based combat. Farming produces food for survival, battle buffs, or quests.
