[edit] Background

The introduction is in Engrish but to summarize: A long time ago, there were battles over gold. A magical swordsman calling himself "King" demanded all the gold and destroyed opposing towns. Others engaged him in combat but he was too powerful and he became known as the "Mad Gold King". The gods paid heed to the events and selected six heroes to oppose the king, giving one of them the power to vanquish the king...

[edit] Gameplay

The fighting was unique for the time, in that it featured visible damage to each of the six fighter's armor.
