The game is based on the novel cycle Record of Lodoss War by Ryo Mizuno, and
more closely on subsequent manga volumes and OVA series. Its story generally
follows the one of the OVA, the main hero being Parn, a young man who grows up
in a small village and later becomes one of the strongest warriors in the
world, thanks to his father’s mysterious heritage and his own courage. Like in
the anime series, the game begins with a goblin attack and with Parn leaving
his home village together with his best friend Etoh in search of adventure.

This version of Record of Lodoss War is a traditional Japanese RPG with top-
down world map navigation and random battles. There is a strategic element in
the battles, allowing the characters to freely move on the battle field.
However, the battles can be set on auto, making them more fast-paced and
similar to traditional Japanese RPG combat. The towns have menu-based first-
person view navigation.
