The game blends side-scrolling platforming with deep RPG systems, including character leveling, equipment management, stat growth, and a wide range of magical relics and gear to discover along the way.

The game follows a young boy named Koh, who lives in the desert town of Monsbaiya. Koh's father was a legendary monster tamer who ventured into the mysterious Monster Tower and never returned. Inspired by his father's legacy, Koh sets out to explore the tower himself, battling monsters and collecting treasures across its many floors.
