It is somewhere between Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy. Straight-up turn based, old school RPG. It is a definite change of pace from everything I have been playing lately. Old stuff like if a weapon is worth more then it is better is enjoyably simple. Pretty funny writing too. When Mr. Rock attacks the game says he is taking out his marital troubles on you. And Mrs. Rock attacks you after crying into her Chardonnay. I get a kick out of it.
