Players begin by choosing a character class and color.
Once all players make their choices, the characters appear in the central castle. Each tower of the castle provides portals to one of the worlds conquered by Skorne. Upon passing through a portal, the players are immediately attacked by monsters. The characters have short and long-range attacks of varying effectiveness as well as special attacks awarded from items they pick up along the way. The bad guys have various attacks based on their type, ranging from biting at the players' ankles to breathing fire to exploding.
