[edit] Gameplay

Neutopia is an action-adventure game played from an overhead perspective. As the player wanders between contiguous land areas, he or she encounters oceans/lakes, mountains, bridges, merchants, and people just offering advice. The protagonist fends off wandering monsters primarily with a sword, shield and fire wand, blows up obstacles with bombs, and consumes potions to replenish health. Health upgrades can be achieved by defeating Dirth's minions in the eight labyrinths and by finding certain people, while stronger swords and armor can be obtained inside the secret rooms of the labyrinths.

The game borrows many elements from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series.

[edit] Plot summary
