The Three Kingdoms Era serves as the backdrop for this beat-em-up where players control one of four historical warriors to combat infantry and archers. Using a momentum-based attack system, players can charge their strikes by moving their weapons backward to build energy. Combat includes riding on horseback to navigate the battlefield and clear waves of enemies in single or two-player modes.
