Minato combines classic minesweeper with roguelike elements. Choose from classes with unique abilities, uncover powerful items, and face stages with unexpected twists. Take on challenges, adapt your strategy, and master every run. Start each run by choosing a class with his Artifact, items with unique abilities. Carefully manager its charges, upgrade it and unleash it's power when in need. Every class offers a new way to play and a different path to mastery. Find consumables to keep you safe and relics that change the course of a game. Discover new combos every run to progress with ease. Every few boards, the game raises the stakes. Curses appear to distort the usual rules: limited visibility, empty cells, random numbers. At the end of each world, a boss waits to test how well you’ve adapted. Beneath all the new ideas, Minato stays true to its roots. There’s no rush: only focus, patience
