The game is a twin-stick real-time action game where players control one of three characters at a time, being able to switch between party members on the fly.
Characters have a basic attack and two special skills, unleashing combos on the fly and building up a combo meter. The longer your combo, the more damage you can deal, especially since you can wrack up a higher combo count by switching characters to continue the mayhem
The game also incorporates RPG mechanics, being able to upgrade and collect ability cards to strengthen your characters, with unique animations even being shown on the cards!
