Your goal is to get through each area, find the people responsible for the attack and kill them. Enemies go for you the moment they see you, so a big part of the game is fighting them off. If your health drops to zero, you get set back and have to try that part again.
The first area looks like the entrance to a dungeon. You can look around at your own pace, but the only way to progress is to keep pushing forward.
Not every obstacle is an enemy. Some blocks can be moved around and climbed to reach higher spots, and locked doors need a key that you find somewhere nearby. These parts give the game its adventure side between fights.
Aryasp fights up close in the style of knight games, hitting an enemy with his weapon until it collapses. His attacks have a decent reach and cover a wide area, so one swing can catch several enemies and keep them a step away. You are strong, but you can still go down fast when too many close in.
The world takes some of its look from the real Scythians, a nomadic people who seem to have come from central Asia.
