The player plays 2 characters in the game, The Lord of Light and their loyal angel who are supposed to be the saviors against Tanzra, The Lord of Dark, and his forces before they destroy civilization. The player plays in 2 ways, while playing as the lord of light, the player is faced with a side-scrolling action platformer where he is to fight against opponents. The second part is when the player plays as the angel, here the player is faced with a top-down strategic view from where he/she has to help with rebuilding the city.
