How to Play Shadow Blasters
Quick start
Choose one of the four warriors and cross each stage while destroying the monsters sent by Ashura. Learn the chosen fighter's attack reach and movement, collect power-ups, and save magic for groups or bosses instead of spending it on single weak enemies. Advance cautiously so threats appear at a manageable distance, use jumping attacks on elevated targets, and watch the life and magic meters before entering a boss arena.
Controls
D-pad: move, crouch, and aim movement on ladders or platforms. A: use the current magic attack. B: perform the warrior's normal weapon or martial-arts attack. C: jump. Start: pause. Each warrior has different range and magic behaviour, so the same button can produce a character-specific attack.
