Third-person shooter game but, in addition to the basic mechanics of this genre, such as character movement and third-person camera, this game features two main mechanics.

The first is the axe, which the player carries throughout the entire game and uses it as a throwing weapon during gameplay. With a mouse command, the player can shoot the axe and call it back to their character's hand. This is often used to solve dexterity puzzles that prevent the player from progressing between game areas. However, this axe is not responsible for damaging enemies but serves as an intermediary for the second mechanic, power copying. When the player hits an enemy with the axe and pulls it back, they gain temporary access to the abilities of the struck enemy. A bar on the screen represents how much of this power can still be used, with the bar decreasing with usage and also diminishing if the player takes damage. The player also has the option to drop the current power to capture another if deemed necessary. With these abilities at their disposal, the player advances through the levels, overcoming new enemies and challenges, expanding the variety of abilities they can steal. Each enemy has up to two abilities that the player can copy, one offensive ability that deals damage, and one utility ability that provides advantages in combat or interaction with the environment.
