Game Screen Overview
Upon entering a match, the Game Screen becomes your tactical command interface. Here, strategy meets execution as you navigate hostile territories alongside your allies.
Primary Objectives
Your mission is clear but challenging: eliminate all hostile forces before time expires. Each canto consists of six interconnected areas, each presenting escalating threats and valuable opportunities.
Victory Conditions
Success: Clear all six areas of enemy forces within the time limit
Failure occurs when:
- The 10-minute countdown reaches zero
- All party members are eliminated
Area Progression Rules
- Linear Advancement: Complete current area before accessing the next
- Point of No Return: Previous areas become inaccessible once you advance
- Thorough Exploration: Hidden treasures, NPCs, and strategic resources await discovery
Strategic Priority: Balance speed with thoroughness. Rushing forward may cost valuable resources, while excessive caution risks mission failure.
Interface Elements
The Game Screen provides comprehensive battlefield awareness through strategically positioned information displays:
Resource Tracking
Gold Counter: Displays your current wealth for immediate merchant interactions and equipment purchases
Mission Context
Canto Identifier: Shows current canto name and specific area designation (e.g., "Weeping Woods - Area 3/6")
Time Management
