 * The Living Path (voiced by TBD) -  a very long dragon with a very flat back that a small race of monsters has created their homes on, hence the dragon's name.
 * Mother of Monsters (voiced by TBD) - a gigantic horrifying spider-like monster with a humanoid face that spits eggs out of its mouth that hatch into monsters.
 * King Golem (voiced by TBD) - a large stone creature that has a temple built into its chest that tiny creatures live inside. He is Celeste's enforcer and is sent to kill their enemies.

Mini-Bosses

 * Hallowed Out Soldier - a Mask swordfighter like William that appears to be a zombie-like monster being possessed by a fungal parasite coming out of their mask's eye hole.

Enemies

 * Piko - the most common enemy in the game which is a tiny green creature with two legs and an odd-looking eye.

Attacks
Regular attacks that the player can perform at any time.
 * Slice - the default attack of the game. William simply draws his sword and begins cutting through his enemies.
 * Jumping Slice - a variant of the slice which is performed in mid-air. A jumping slice also allows William to point his sword downwards and stab his enemies from above.
 * Dashing Slice - performed while dashing. William very quickly jolts ahead and damages every enemy three feet in front of him. It can also be used while jumping to perform a Jumping Dash Slice.
 * Charge - William is able to charge at the enemy, stunning them.
 * Beam Fingers - William begins firing small beams from his fingertips. This is one of the spells he has from the beginning of the game.

Special Attacks
Attacks that require a certain input of attacks in order to perform.
 * Twisting Slice - William summons two magic swords and spins in a circle, attacking enemies both behind and in front of him. Performed after a slice, dashing slice, and another slice.
 * Ground Bash - William slams his sword into the ground hard enough to send a small shock wave that hits up to three enemies. Performed after a charge and a dashing slice.

Finishers
Attacks that have a massive damage radius and will charge up over time.
 * Bang - William turns his back to the camera and points a finger gun at all the enemies in front of him, firing a giant beam from his pointer finger. While doing this, he proclaims "let's jam!" this entire attack is a reference to the anime Cowboy Bebop.
 * Cutting Edge - William draws his sword and strikes a dramatic pose. His left eye begins glowing as the entire screen goes black and slashes are seen all over it, damaging every enemy on the screen.

 * The Jungle
 * Snowfall Village

Trivia

 * The gameplay is often compared to games such as Dust and Hollow Knight, with it being a 2D sidescroller that focuses mostly on combat. Also much like Hollow Knight, is attempts to create a more open world experience despite this fact.
 * It is actually possible to unlock Scorpion's Spear in the game. It deals damage to an enemy and pulls them closer for an extra attack. While using it, William yells Scorpion's catchphrase "get over here!"
