The game delivers a fresh adventure capturing the essence of RuneScape, allowing the player to complete quests, level up various skills, and enjoy the journey in a beautifully crafted open world. Set against the unknown continent of Ashenfall, RuneScape's signature fantasy universe and a new narrative unfold as the player faces various foes. The developer explains that through activities like gathering, crafting, building, and combat, the player can grow the character and stand against mighty dragons. By tracking the scars of destruction left across the continent, the player can uncover the secrets of the dragons and ultimately challenge the Dragon Queen.

An inventive survival system utilizing magic is another key feature. By harnessing the power of Anima flowing across Ashenfall, the player can instantly chop down trees, teleport away from dangerous situations, and gather resources efficiently, experiencing a fresh style of survival gameplay. Solo and co-op play are fully supported, letting the player adventure alone or team up with friends to face colossal enemies and construct bases.
