Cards such as carbunkle, lizardman, skeleton, and dullahan appear and serve as nonplayer characters (NPCs), which walk around the battlefield OSRS gold and attack enemies or just appear for a few seconds to execute the attack and disappear. Other cards, such as the unicorn and fairy, heal the character. The more powerful cards, such as stone elephant, sandworm, and the dragon, are the equivalents to Bahamut and Efrit in the Final Fantasy games.

When using these powerful cards, the main character disappears and is replaced by the summon card, performing its destructive feats and leaving no trace of the enemy most of the time. Killing enemies will reward you with runes, replenishing ones you have consumed during battle. After the battle, the screen displays how much experience points were gained, and you can then press the A button to return to the field map. As you level up, your stats (like hit points) increase, and some of the cards will evolve into a better version.

The graphics look more like those in a PC game, as opposed to visuals you see on cheap OSRS gold console RPGs. However, From Software has been known to develop games such as King's Field, Shadow Tower, and Evergrace, all of which have this type of visual style.
