The game is turn based. To avoid very long turns games do some tricks to make things faster. For example if hero is sorrounded by four enemies they do not wait until each ot them finishes. Instead they attack in parallel. Player's main activities are: slashing enemies, collecting loot, crafting, handling quests. Once game is finished, player can continue by playing at the next descent level.

Game features many mechanisms to make experience more interesting. Each time player starts a new game world's parts are randomly layouted. Every time player descents into a dungeon it's layout is dynamically generated.

Death is unpleasant experience. Hardcore players can make it even more unpleasant by opting for a permanent death. By default this option is not checked and after dying player can load game form the last save. Game has auto-save mechanism so player is not loosing too much of the game's progress.

Slavic gods play an important role in the game. Everyone wants to possess them as they give power. Players can also use them - they have their own turn in the game.

There are different kinds of loot in the game:

• Equipment (melee and ranged weapons), armour, jewellery
• Magic scrolls, books
• Consumables (meat, fruits, potions)
• Gems, trophies

There two sources of spells:

• Mana based - books and scrolls
• Equipment based - staffs, scepters and wands

Mana based spells require mana to cast. The power of such a spell depends on player's magic statistic level.

Equipment based spells do not require mana. The power of such a spell depends on equipment statistics and player's ability related to given equipment kind.

• Fire - burning - for a few next turns entity will burn (effectively losing its health)
• Ice - freezing - for a few next turns entity will not be able to move
• Poison - poisoning - for a few next turns entity will be poisoned (effectively loosing its health)

From time to time player would find a merchant. Merchants sell/buy loot, some of them can also sell a hound. If for some reason they do not like player they would refuse trading. The currency in the game is gold.

Rooms inside dungeons are accessed using doors. Door typically can be opened by touching them. Some door require a special key. There are also door that needs a proper combination a levers to be opened.
