In Kuon, the player moves their character by tilting the analog stick in any direction. The player can also make their character move faster by running; however, this both drains the character's health and attracts any nearby enemies. The player can use meditation to restore their character's health (while they are standing still), as well as use herbal medicines and holy water containers from the menu.
There are two types of attacks in Kuon: melee (physical) attacks and magical attacks. Melee attacks are performed with the character's weapon, be it a knife (Yin phase), a fan (Yang phase), or a spear (Kuon phase). Magic is divided into two types—attack and summon—both of which are performed with magic cards. Attack spells include various fire- and ice-based spells. Summoned beings perform a variety of tasks, from attacking creatures for you to trapping them and causing a one-hit kill. The player may also summon creatures to serve as bodyguards as well.
