Gameplay

Each run combines melee combat, flying swords, weapons, relics and cult abilities into different builds. Six cults change playstyle and synergies, while random finds ensure that each run develops differently.

Between runs, Bi An can be permanently strengthened with talent points. In addition, memory fragments reveal the backstory of the world and the five great houses.
