Elemental Master is a horizontal scrolling shooter made in two-dimensional graphics. According to the plot in the distant past in the fictional kingdom of Loreli, the followers of an evil creature called Gira were imprisoned under a city castle. The sorcerer Ariagh betrayed the King and freed the power of Gere to allow evil to spread everywhere. The hero of the game, Laden, the kingdom's strongest sorcerer, was ready to attack Ariag, but stopped when he learned that Ariag is his brother Rocky. With the help of Gere's followers, Rocky expelled Laden from the captured kingdom. But Laden vowed to stop the evil of Gear.
