A charming little game that boasts dazzling pixel art and an enchanting soundtrack. Thanks to great animation work, the gameplay is immediately satisfying and gives you enough enjoyment throughout its short runtime. It is however somewhat unambitious and can be easily mastered within a few play-sessions. Due to a lack of difficulty and mechanical depth, the game doesn't offer much in terms of replayability, which only makes some of the less favorable gameplay and control decisions stand out more. It is also difficult to recommend to anyone not familiar with the Record of Lodoss War series, as the story makes little attempt to contextualize what is effectively the prologue to a sequel series of novels.
