Arashi Gaiden is a turn based action game based on a dash-and-slash combat system. Players utilize a unique set of tools, including blades for direct attacks, shuriken for ranged combat, teleports for repositioning, and chains to control opponents' movements. The primary goal of each turn is to eliminate all enemies in a location to advance further. This structure combines strategic planning with the rapid execution of commands, with thoughtful movement and subsequent strikes forming the core of the gameplay.
