In order to gain experience, level up, and increase your stats, the player can fight randomly generated monsters which appear as the player travels from city to city. Using weapons such as a slingshot, machete, or hunting rifle the player can deal damage to the monster the player is in battle with. If the player manages to deal enough damage so that the monsters health is depleted the player will win the battle and recieve coins.
The player can obtain items by finding them along their travels or by buying them in markets while exploring cities. Items such as food can be used to heal the player after a rough battle with a monster. The player can also obtain more projectiles to be used for the slingshot or the hunting rifle. Not only can the player buy items from the market, they may also exchange items for coins to be used on other more useful items.
