The Core Loop in One Paragraph
Hunt a monster whose weakness you know, double your damage with the right coating, sell the drops, buy the next armor or polish, then spend the quest-earned summon item on the region boss. Beat the boss, take its key, open the next region. The whole game is that sentence, repeated with escalating stakes — and the Frost Hollow update will extend it east.
