Lagoon is a top-view action/adventure video game for the Sharp X68000 and Super NES in which Nasir (Nassel, in the Japanese version), Champion of light, must investigate the source of the worlds corrupted water and return peace to Lakeland.

Action is in real time, similar to the Seiken Densetsu series, however you level up and have offensive and defensive stats that are affected by the weapons and equipment you carry as in an RPG.

The game contains a variety of towns, landscapes and dungeons littered with a variety of enemies ranging from insects to giant bosses. It is considered to be a very difficult RPG, largely due to the fact that the sword you're using is terribly short.
