I chose to spend skill points (a currency given to the player upon completing optional quests or leveling up) on maximizing my damage, effectively making myself a glass cannon as I progressed through stage after stage. The level of depth regarding skill selection and customization allows for a variety of builds with each unique class. For example, the Fighter and Amazon are incredibly effective melee ranged fighters which forced me to handle enemies up close and personally, unlike before where I was slinging spells or summoning tremendous bolts of lightning from somewhere offscreen. Dabbling in the other classes provided some variety and made bosses I had already encountered as the Wizard a new challenge. I started with the Wizard, an incredibly efficient spellcaster, and stuck to that class for most of the game. Players can pick from up to six different classes with minimal customization to choose from as they seek the Dragon’s Crown. Several stages are unlocked through natural progression of the story, all of which is narrated as you traverse desolate forests and winding labyrinths lost beneath civilization. You, the player, are tasked to find the Dragon’s Crown, an immensely powerful relic in the Kingdom of Hydeland. The scenario is short and sweet, and incredibly familiar to those who touched titles like Capcom’s Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow of Mystara or even the cabinet RPG Gauntlet. Instead of opting to import my data from my previous file on my other console, I started fresh.

The game includes depictions of fantasy characters drinking ale at taverns and smoking pipes for extended periods.I was incredibly eager to pick this title up for the second time, my first being on the PlayStation 3. An image gallery (still-screen drawings) depicts several suggestive images of female characters and creatures, some with exposed buttocks/breasts (e.g., floating succubi with exposed buttocks a harpy holding a knight into her chest a female character's nude body partially obscured by glass). During the course of the game, some female characters are depicted in low-cut outfits and bikini-style costumes their breasts sometimes jiggle in an exaggerated manner while fighting.

Some still-image cutscenes depict blood and gore: a severed creature's head dripping with black blood a ghostly knight impaled by a bloody sword. Battles are highlighted by cries of pain, sword-slashing effects, and mild explosions. As players traverse side-scrolling levels, they use swords, axes, and magic spells to defeat enemy soldiers and fantasy creatures (e.g., giant insects, demons, trolls) in melee-style combat. In this action role-playing game, players assume the role of adventurers that embark on quests through the fantasy kingdom of Hydeland.
