There are three Stonebite types, and the particular combination traded determines which upgrade is received. "Stonebites", which are blue stones hidden throughout the world, can be collected (after several quests have been completed) and traded to a character named Blackroot, in groups of three, in exchange for various permanent statistic upgrades. New combo moves can also be purchased from "Trainer" characters. New equipment can be acquired via enemy drops, looting chests, or purchasing from vendor characters. The player's inventory contains seven different pages of equipment classes (primary and secondary weapon, shoulder, armor, glove, boot, and talisman, with an additional page for quest items). Other statistics can be increased by equipping items, with each item having various stat-altering characteristics. Each new level gives the player a skill point that can be used in a skill tree that contains new abilities. There are eight player statistics, including a character class level that increases at various experience levels. Reaper is a separate resource used only for the Reaper ability, and when full, Death can transform briefly into his grim reaper form, which is more resilient and deals more damage (graphically it is the more typical depiction of Death as a spectral figure, rather than the flesh form normally used in the game). Wrath is the game's mana-type system, being a resource used for special abilities. Health, Wrath, and Reaper resource meters display on-screen whenever they change, along with an experience meter that shows how close the player is to the next character class level. Other abilities like "Soul Splitter" and "Interdiction" are also acquired, which allow the player to control multiple characters to traverse puzzle areas. In the course of quests, Death also acquires "Death Grip", which operates as a grappling hook on certain objects and "Voidwalker", which operates similarly to the Portal Gun from the Portal video game series, though it only works at certain designated locations. There are several different movement options, including swimming, running along walls, and several different climbing options that are available on specially placed wooden elements, such as wall pegs and beams (players learn to recognize wood as climbing elements, in contrast to the stone that dominates most of the world's structures).


Secondary weapons include typical melee weapons like hammers, axes, and maces as "slow" options "fast" options are generally gauntlet-style weapons that provide the player with claws and other bladed arm extensions, at the expense of less range and power than the slow weapons. Death's primary weapons are two scythes, one wielded in each hand. Each is accessed with a key/button stroke. While inside a Dungeon, the player is also allowed to fast-travel back to the overworld while saving their dungeon location for continuation later without losing progress.ĭeath is aided by Despair, a horse that is available for use in open areas of the overworld for faster travel, and Dust, a raven that guides him to his objectives. Worlds can be traversed via "fast-travel", whereby the player can teleport to certain map points instantly. There are main and side quests, with main and side boss fights. Maps are vast and each contain open world "overworld" regions that can be explored freely on foot or by horse, along with numerous dungeons where quest objectives are generally carried out. in order to traverse areas and reach objectives.
