[edit] Gameplay

Most of the game takes place in dungeons, with a heavy emphasis on puzzles. In the game you play as a single protagonist who can have up too two sprites, small characters that perform certain tasks such as healing, or long range attacks, following you at one time. There are five dungeons in the game; The Tower of Light, Ancient Ruins, the Ice Castle, Droog Volcano, as well as the final dungeon. You start out in the town of Arcs and there is only one other town, Toronto. In Toronto there is a battle arena which you can fight in for money as well as bet on other competitors. the game had a few different types of weapons, including bows, boomerangs, swords, axes, and flails. A major aspect of the game that set it apart RPGs like Final Fantasy is the fact the the main character could did gain experience and level up. Defeating enemies would result in gold, not experience points. The protagonist also acquired better armour and weapons to increse his defensive and offensive capabilities, similar to the Legend of Zelda series. The sprites that accompanied the protagonist however, allies in the game that you could be bought or found trapped in jewels, could level up by picking up blue 'XP' orbs that were dropped randomly by defeated enemies.
