The player acts as a scout known as the Gryphon. The player is assisted by the female or male character not chosen during character creation. Unlike other games, magic does not require any form of resource pool and can be cast without limit. The player traverses a linear world connected by checkpoints and fast travel locations known as Reliquaries. Gameplay is driven by a central character named the Dragon whose gender can be determined by the player. The player's spells can be further enhanced by increasing the level of a Sigil through accomplishing specific goals.

Gameplay centers on enemies dropping randomized loot based on the rarity level the character has achieved through reaching checkpoints. There are challenge levels which the player can choose to do as battle-oriented side-quests. Each character has subtle differences in their origin story. The game allows the player to traverse the main quest as a male or female character. A console version was released on Apin North America and on Apin Europe.
