Your goal is to rid the Kalesian islands of the evil dragon Stynnaferras and her nine children. Along the way, you'll collect potions and treasure, and fight a variety of monsters as you become more powerful and defeat the dragon conqueror of each island. Combat is simple hit-and-run variety found in classic games like Archon and Telengard. Although the game doesn't involve a lot of strategy, its simple attack-and-move-on mentality makes it well-suited to the Pocket PC.
