This game from the "old" school styles of RPG's. If you like older type graphics & level grinding, this game has what you want. The adventure is set in the classic style. You have villages to go visit. Buy armor, weapons & items at shops. Recover hit points & magic by staying in the inn. Venture out iin the world & fight random battles. Explore caves & other places to gain specific game objectives. In these objectives there are game Bosses. As the game play goes along you & your enemies get stronger. My big fault with the game is there are way too many button pushes required to play. This could have been streamlined down. The original *** version long ago might have taken all the button clicks to play. However, with the modern tech that today's games have the number of times the button has to be pushed to battle could have been reduced. The text could have come up in larger amounts, also reducing needless extra pushing.
