Objective

As De, your goal is to make  your way and fight through the madness of corrupted bots and programs as you climb your way to the top of Drodian’s Arcology. Your goal on each floor is to find the key and unlock the door to the next floor, but all may not be what it seems…

Controls

 Face up, move up.

 Face down, move down.

 Face left, move left.

 Face right, move right.

 Press & Hold A to Take Sword Out

 Hack Wall

 Pause, Shows Hints and Secret Objectives

Attacking Enemies

You have an energy sword! To attack you must have your sword drawn by pressing and holding the A button. Think of it like a joust, but not all enemies will fall that easily. Keep jousting them until they are destroyed! Be careful this does deplete your energy.  

Blocking Shots

You have a shield! If your sword is not drawn, whichever direction you are facing can block shots 

When you draw your sword the shield will block anything to the left. This will be important when trying to defend yourself!

Energy

Fighting enemies can be exhausting and Dee’s energy will deplete as he is fighting. If you drop to 0 you lose a life!

Secret Objective & Upgrades

The System Menu will show a hint on how to get the secret objective and the upgrade earned from getting the secret objective. These upgrades are important for getting through the archology. 

Hacking Wall(s)

By pressing B while facing a wall you can hack through it. While it helps you get through the level faster you only have a limited number of hacks for each floor.
