Each of the siblings uses their abilities in a unique manner: Greak is small but mighty and is able to squeeze into places the others cannot, unveiling secrets that would otherwise be missed; Adara is proficient in the arcane arts and uses her magic twofold, it can be used to help propel her through the air, enabling her to reach far off ledges, but alternatively it can be unleashed as a weapon, causing devastating damage to her unfortunate foes; Raydel is the oldest and largest of the siblings, his armor allows him to defend against attacks, protecting them against the enemies.
The Urlags are not the only threat the trio will face in Azur; you’ll need to alternate seamlessly between all three siblings to traverse the hostile landscape and solve the specifically crafted puzzles that await.
