If the player kills all the marauders and escapes to the deck, they are then set upon by a giant 'Kraekan' (a corruption of kraken) of the sea resembling Cthulhu. However, a group of marauders attack the ship, murdering its crew. The game begins with the player stowed away in a ship that is also carrying a princess from an unnamed country who is to be married to an opposing country's king in order to avert war. The game also provides a local multiplayer option for co-operative and versus play, and asynchronous features such as messages that may be interchanged between players. The game implements RPG concepts such as origins, classes and stat development, as well as an extensive skill tree providing hundreds of combinations. Magic and ranged attacks can also be performed. Players can wield two handed weapons for additional power, and shields to defend and parry.

There are 600 items players may use, and the several weapon categories have special movesets including air attacks. The game features 2D hand drawn visuals, as well as gameplay mechanics similar to the Souls series.
