## Description
The game is based on the animated movie _Legend of Crystania_ , which is set
in the same universe as Record of Lodoss War, telling the story of two of its
characters, Ashram and Pirotessa, escaping to the cursed land of Crystania and
falling into the hand of animal gods. The game, however, doesn’t follow this
plot and instead is focusing on Crystania’s internal troubles, particularly
the evil Dragon God, whom the animal gods must defeat. The player can choose
to play as either the female warrior Jenoba from the country of Istaria, or
Pirotessa’s former companion Boakes. The two adventures have different plots
and begin in different locations.
The game’s exploration is on par with other Japanese top-down RPGs, including
towns and hostile areas, but without a world map. The battles are pre-set.
Once the player-controlled party encounters a hostile character, a turn-based
battle begins. The combat has a strategy element, allowing character to freely
move on the battle field and attack only if enemies are within the range of
their weapons. Characters can cast magical spells or use “talents”, which
deplete TP, or “talent points”.
