After a stage is completed once, the player is free to choose any character on their next run.

The blacksmith uses iron from crates, officers, supply captains, etc. and shops use the gold rewarded for completing objectives and overall battle performance. Characters will join the player through various means, up to six with three active in battle. They are given a choice of three and do not recover health after each mission.
