Gameplay
In the game, players build teams of five characters known as "Aurorians", each associated with one of four elements. In the turn-based combat stages, players guide these characters along paths of as many connected tiles of the same element as possible. Depending on the path length, the characters' attack powers increase. Characters can also activate abilities to influence the battlefield, including changing tile elements, teleporting or healing. Outside of combat, players can build up their base and interact with or level up their characters.[3]
