Stamina combat with parries, blocks and rolls
Fights run on stamina, positioning and timing. You swing a one-handed sword, greatsword or bow, and guard with blocks, parries and a dodge-roll with generous invincibility frames. Each weapon carries its own Divine Skill, and using it enough times teaches it permanently, so you can mix five skills per weapon across ten slots when carrying two. You chain light attacks into skills until your stamina runs dry, then back off, heal and go again. Bosses and Elites punish greedy swings, especially in forced group fights.
Builds made from weapons, stats and grinding
Progress is a loop of killing, gathering and forging. Enemies drop a souls-type currency and crafting materials, and every level gives a skill point for pages that raise strength, health, stamina and other stats. New pages unlock as you beat bosses, with bigger gains later. Forging a weapon line unlocks its skill to learn, so the journal tells you which enemy drops what and you hunt it down. Side quests, minibosses and monuments unlock the rest of the nodes. It is a grind-heavy game, and planning which bow, sword or magic-leaning setup to feed pays off.
A hand-drawn Sanctum to cross and craft through
Sanctum is a dark fantasy side-scrolling world of fertile domains, a great lake, a royal capital, an underworld and stranger places after that, drawn in a colorful hand-drawn anime style. You explore on foot with double jumps, swim through flooded halls, search corners for hidden items, and teleport between statue checkpoints. When medicines run low or debuffs pile up, you gather herbs, ore and fish to cook and craft cures and gear. Quests from witches, beast children, ghosts and other residents add sub-stories and rewards, with full Japanese voice work for many of them.
What else should you know?
Can you play it solo or with others?
You can play the whole war against the Pantheon of Six alone, and there is also online co-op and multiplayer support. Solo keeps the build choices and boss attempts entirely yours, while co-op lets someone else draw aggro when Elites and mobs crowd you.
How do checkpoints and fast travel work?
Statues act as checkpoints in the manner of bonfires. You rest, then teleport freely between intact statues, which helps when farming a material or returning to a boss door. Damaged statues only send you back to an intact one, so routes take a little planning.
What weapons and character options are there?
Three main types: one-handed sword, two-handed sword and bow, plus magical sub-weapons and shields. You design your knight from dozens of anime-style appearances and pick from male and female battle voices heard in combat. Stats and Divine Skills decide if you lean strength, skill or magic.
Does it play like a metroidvania?
Only lightly. Maps are large and reward hunting for monuments, chests and crafting caches, but you keep most of your movement kit from start to finish. Progress gates more on stats, gear and quest flags than on new traversal powers.
