Every character has a tempo that must be matched, but you must choose the correct attack. Choosing incorrectly can result in a penalty.

In order to destroy a target, you must not miss a beat. Missing a beat or choosing the wrong attack resets the enemies health gauge. Fill the health gauge to destroy the enemy.

The game has 15 rounds starting with a pre-tutorial round. There are various enemy types and each round has a unique combination that you must learn to overcome.

There is also a dash movement ability that makes the game fast paced. Use this to avoid enemy attacks, or use it to close the distance so that you can land a melee beat.
