Mechanics

Apart from regular enemies, we'll also face much more powerful bosses. Combat is fast-paced, requiring constant movement and good use of our weapons - Lumina, daggers and ranged weapons. As we progress, we grow more powerful and gain new abilities, becoming capable of fighting stronger foes and reaching previously inaccessible areas.
