Battleheart/Gameplay

All interaction with the game is performed using the touchscreen.

At the main screen for the game, you can select from the five options.

Battle!
This is how you access the various levels and progress through the game.

Armory
You can see all your items from this window and equip them to your characters.

There are three types of items: weapons, armor, and trinkets. Each item has a tier between 1 and 9 that signifies how strong the item is in relation to others of its class. New items between tiers 1 and 7 can be acquired by beating levels, purchasing from the merchant or upgrading old items. Tier 8 items can be awarded from only the Brightstone arena and Doomvale arena after surpassing a certain number of kills. Tier 9 items can solely be received in the Doomvale arena, also based on kills.

Merchant
The merchant will have various items for sale and will also pay coins for your old items. The available items are randomized after each battle, so check back often.

Academy
You select the activated skills for your character.

Tavern
You can visit the tavern to hire new characters. Each character will cost 10x the character's level. For example, a level 4 character will cost 40 coins to hire. You must progress through the game to unlock more characters.

Keep
You can only have up to 4 characters active at a time. You can have any other characters stay at the Keep.
