When the party walks closer to a band of enemies, the turn-based combat mode kicks in. Each fighter has a chance to move within a given space for their turn, as outlined by a ring of glowing diamonds. Then, when the fighters are close enough, it's time to exercise offensive and defensive maneuvers by using might or magic. Naturally, each fighter has varied abilities, such as speed, strength, and agility. In true RPG fashion, successful battles result in more experience points for your party to increase various attributes.
Players can also collect items and money from chests and other findings.
Visually speaking, this game is awful. Even with the Expansion Pak offering a high-res mode, this game looks roughly five years out of date. Lastly, the camera is very twitchy, especially during conversations with NPCs. The audio in the game is equally annoying. The music isn't bad at times, but it grows repetitive quickly, as do the sound effects, and there are absolutely no voices in the game either.
