Story: For as long as your people can remember, Mercia has been under the tyrannical rule of the malevolent sorceress Etheldred. Some months ago, a group of brave mercenaries was sent to confront her evil reign, but none returned… Will you meet the same fate as these fallen heroes, or will you emerge victorious and save your homeland? The outcome rests in your hands!
Gameplay: Choose your hero and prepare for battle with a mix of close-range melee attacks and long-range projectiles. Each hero can move and strike in eight directions and utilize a variety of items.

Upgrade your weapons, acquire health potions, power-ups, and powerful magic scrolls to prepare for the perils ahead.
