Basic Game Play Tactics

The first lesson you need to learn is not to get hit. Not getting hit means staying in motion at all times, and constantly firing at the enemy. How you should view this is simple - as long as your character is constantly moving away from the enemy and also shooting to kill the enemy, you are racking up a good score.

The thing is, and this is paramount - you must ALWAYS be aware of the timer! This is a speedrun style of game, which means save for the final level of a Dungeon when you are doing the main boss battle - which has no timer - all of the other levels DO have timers.

If you play out the timer, it is the same as being killed. You get ejected from the level, collect whatever loot is owed you, open some chests if you have them, and then have to start the level over.

Obviously the idea is NOT to have to do that. So always be aware of the timer. Remember you just have to get through the door with at least 1 Second left on the timer when moving from level to level, since a new level will have a new timer. But that doesn't mean you can run-out the timer all the time!

You need to GET to the next level. You will get the hang of it once you start playing it.

Dealing with Enemies

While most of the enemies you will encounter in the game do melee damage, eventually you are going to face ranged enemies like Archers, who can hit you from a distance.

You deal with them by hiding behind pillars and sniping at them. That is the best way, but be aware of the timer! You need to not only take out the ranged enemy, but you need to do it in quick time so you can hit that door and not be timer-bound!

Did we mention always being aware of the timer? Yeah?! Well ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE TIMER!

Level Up Rewards

As you play you will level up and, as you level up, you will find yourself collecting random rewards like cards and Warp Stones.

Obviously in the case of Warp Stones you should save them up until you can buy the Legendary Pack since it has the best prize pay-out.

But in terms of Cards - Battle Cards - you need to pay close attention to what you are getting and actually try to make sure that you read the description for each of the cards - because knowing what they do can often make using them far more effective if you know and anticipate the effect they will have on the enemy within range!

You also want to be sure you retain a small balance - 1K or so is usually enough - in your Gold Bank so that you can FUSE new cards straight away. There is nothing that sucks more than not being able to FUSE a card and then drawing that card on the next go!

Clearing Away the Boss Level

This should not need to be said but because of the speedrun nature of the game it does... You can get so used to the idea that you need to rip through each level as fast as you can that you can forget that the Boss Mob room at the end of a level has NO timer.

Basic Game Play Tactics

That means you CAN - and you SHOULD - clear that entire room from Boss to the lowest of his minions! You want to take out as much loot as you can, obviously, and do it with style. Because style is everything and when you leave loot behind you could have gotten, you stink! OK, just kidding... But not about getting all the loot, that you need to do!

Playing Dual-Stick

While most players will want to use the single-left-stick ,movement control and the auto-aim firing for the right-thumb button, some will choose to use the much more challenging dual-stick control.

If you opt to go with the dual-stick you should try to use the various special enemy types to your advantage - specifically you should target the bomber skeletons so that you can use their active destruction to take out other mobs around them.

Bear in mind that once you use the Shrunken Head you can actually walk over the enemies.

As you grow closer to the level-point you want to be sure that you have spent the last half saving up Gold so that you have the Gold to pay for upgrades when the level hits.

Basic Game Play Tactics

Evolution Levels

Keep an eye on your levels as Evolution approaches - 10, 25, and 40 - and be absolutely certain that you have upgraded your Character stats BEFORE you Evolve - because each Evolution adds a NEW set of upgrade costs. And when we say new set, we mean more expensive.

Don't worry about over-upgrading your abilities because the game will not allow you to! You will hit a point where the upgrade is locked, and you get the notice that it has hit MAX and Evolution is required.

Remember that the Evolution process is not free - you have to pay Gold to do it - and the fist Evolution will set you back 10,000 Gold. That is actually a good thing since it provides you with time to cap-off your abilities without being forced to pay the new scale.

Always Take Chests

While you are going to want to go after treasure bags when you can, you are going to be keeping your eye on your timer, and clearly that will mean ignoring some gold due to short timer. BUT that should NEVER mean abandoning a Chest!

Any time - and every time - a Chest spawns you need to collect it, because Chests are where you get new Battle Cards as well as meaningful treasure!

Look for Secrets

As you make your way through each area keep your eye out for cracked walls, because if you shoot them they will break and can reveal secret treasures!

Those can include Gold, but also Battle Cards in Chests, so totally worth looking for as long as there is extra time on the clock.
