# Know where the advice comes from.

Mobile facts come from Sloclap and the official stores. Combat background comes from the developer’s own articles. Our practice routines are editorial suggestions.

## Our editorial approach

We distinguish current mobile listings, dated original-game explanations and our own practice suggestions. Store information is a snapshot with a date and region, not a promise about every player’s current purchase screen.

Developer articles from 2021 and 2022 describe the original game. We use them for design background without turning console button names, performance targets or mode-specific numbers into mobile specifications.

Official promotional images illustrate the game. They are credited to Sloclap and Kepler Interactive and do not represent this site testing a phone, a purchase, a boss fight or an input method.

## What this guide covers

This site focuses on getting the mobile edition, preparing your input setup and learning combat habits. It does not distribute the game or process purchases. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sloclap or Kepler Interactive.
