Overview and Gameplay
Prince Balthusar’s warrior must conquer the territories of Gargore through a mixture of campaign planning and arcade combat. Most conquests combine two side-scrolling battles with a Mind Duel against the territory’s ruler.
Enemies push toward the player’s flag while the warrior advances toward theirs. Letting too many attackers escape fills the enemy meter and loses the battle. Defeated foes drop weapons, spells, and other consumable items. Temples provide special duels and talismans that can overcome hazards or capture territory.
Controls And Mechanics
- Move and jump through side-scrolling battlefields while protecting the starting flag.
- Cycle through collected weapons, spells, and talismans, then activate the selected item.
- Manage separate Life and Energy meters across a long campaign.
- Mind Duels replace field combat with circular projectile battles against multi-armed rulers.
- Includes Amateur and Professional difficulty settings and supports one player only.
