Nihon Falcom developed this side-scrolling action-RPG where players manage a roster of up to ten customizable characters. By selecting from four races and over 60 possible jobs, players form four-member parties to navigate the land of Pentawa. Combat relies on action-based mechanics to battle creatures and retrieve a sceptre from the demonic lord Ouks.
