Gameplay
The game follows the same format as Quest of D, however with the difference that there are no physical trading cards to collect.[9]
With Raid, the game was updated so it can be played with up 6 players instead of 4.[10] From Elysion onwards the game can be played up to 8 players in the special elysion mode where the players fight against enemies in a vast field.[11] Classes available are human, half beast, elf, birdling and dark race.[12] Weapons that can be wielded are sword, magic gun, hammer, flail, knuckle, and dagger as well as magic weapons and magic armor.[13] The gameplay style differs heavily depending on which weapon is used. Characters can be customised in appearance, voice, height and gender. Except for gender, everything can be changed at any point in the game.[9]
