Gameplay
The adventure begins with the arrival of Knight Sir David in the city of Green Row. The Green Row recently suffered a series of abductions by local residents, and the King called Sir David to investigate the incident.
The review takes place in isometric view .
The player can make simple strokes with the sword , use the spells of four schools (wind, fire, earth, water), move freely, jump and push objects. The game involves solving many puzzles, but for the most part it is a platformer with the borrowing of some elements from role-playing games - such as trading, equipment and the use of spells .
The whole gameplay is the player's progress from the first floor of the dungeon to the sixth, on which the main opponent is located. Some floors are non-linear. For example, the third floor has several secret rooms with bonus items, the fifth floor is a collection of eight mini-worlds.
There is quite rare for games on Sega Mega Drive the ability to save the game (4 slots available).
Equipment
The player can equip the hero with different types of swords, chest armor and gloves. The equipment is obtained in different ways. Gloves, a sword and chest armor can be bought at the city store. Several swords, gloves and armor can be found by solving puzzles. And some items can be obtained by killing different monsters.
The game has special items. Some are needed to advance the game, and some just make the gameplay easier. For example, a goblin costume on the third floor will definitely come in handy.
On the second game floor, you can find sextant, which allows you to teleport at any time.
When a cook is kidnapped from the king’s castle (this will happen on the sixth floor), you can take a cook in her room that will heal you from poison if you are in the water.
On the fifth floor in the secret room you will find a sword that can freeze enemies.
On the sixth floor, you can get the holy sword (holy sword), which can kill skeletons (however, they can still be killed with the spell Turn undead (Air + earth + water)
