Assume the son of Erik, King of Excalabria, on a quest to collect eight rings of good and challenge the evil Tsarkon and his armies of evil. The game features various gameplay views. In towns, the game is played from an overview perspective, outside of towns the game shifts to first perspective. In battles, a side-view is used to portrait battles in an arcade fashion. In traditional RPG fare, the main hero levels up as he gains enough battles under his belt. Various equipment including weapons, armor and spells can be bought to aid in this endeavour. Across the adventures in Vermilion there are 14 towns and dungeons, whereas the latter are protected by large bosses.
