Players are able to Fight with their weapon, use mantras (magic), use items, defend or run away. During battles the game is displayed from a side-view and is turn-based between the player's characters and monsters. On the overworld and in dungeons, random encounters can occur. Players can move around to different locations, search treasure chests and talk to townspeople. Regardless of which character is chosen, the game is displayed as a top-view on the overworld and in towns. This allows any one of these quests to be saved and put aside for any amount of time, allowing the player to change between characters as they so desire. Whenever players load the game cartridge, they are able to choose which of the three characters they wish to play. Rundra no Hihou is a turn-based RPG, similar in gameplay and graphics to the better known Final Fantasy VI. She was born with a mysterious jade on her forehead, and now feels the urge to save the world from an inevitable, yet unknown disaster. * Riza is a young druid who lives with her grandfather in a quiet village.

He is also a pupil of the famous professor Muench who recently made a very important discovery regarding ancient ruins

* Surlet is a wise magician who is interested in archeology and history of the Earth. However a capture of one of the Cultists of Rudras soon complicates his training. * Sion is a young warrior who wants to take part in a ritual tournament and become the strongest of the kingdom. As the 4000 year deadline approaches, three characters each embark on their separate yet intertwined quests.


The cult of the Rudra have appeared and begun fortelling the end of the world. During the era of the humans, the planet's air has become filled with smog and the water dirty with pollutants. But those races had to give place to a newly born race: the humans. Many years ago, four great races dominated the Earth: the wise Danans, the beautiful Mermaids, the proud Reptiles, and the strong Giants. The Earth is ruled by heavenly powers, who destroy it and create it again every 4000 years, to end the live of powerful races and to let new ones appear.
