New Mechanic: Soul Gauge and Ultimate Fire

A brand-new mechanic is here to give players more control!

Soul Gauge System: Each creature you defeat fills the soul gauge.
Shift Key and Aiming: You can fire the charged soul gauge in any direction by pressing the Shift key. This allows for effective crowd control.
Charge Effects: The strength and area of effect of your shots vary depending on how full the soul gauge is. Use it strategically for an edge in battle!

Twin Stick Control Option

To provide players with more freedom and control, we’ve added a new feature:
