According to the designers' assumptions, the game should provide about 100 hours of fun. Game mechanics is based on solutions known from classic cRPG games; directing the main hero's actions, the player fulfills tasks commissioned by NPCs, explores locations (more than 500) and fights against numerous opponents. There are also elements of fun such as the ability to develop characters' qualities and skills or a wide range of equipment items (weapons, armour, magical items, etc.).

The creators of Asguaard reached for a popular development tool - RPG Maker XP. Two-dimensional graphics, with a clearly marked pixel effect, are a clear reference to the retro style.
