Overview and Gameplay
Four wandering heroes set out across monster-infested lands to defeat a dark sorcerer and rescue a kidnapped princess. Blending side-scrolling action with role-playing progression, the journey alternates between open combat stages and towns where equipment and recovery items prepare the party for deeper, more dangerous regions.
