[edit] Gameplay

The game is centered around the world Mistral's confrontation with the re-awakened evil god Deoric and his dark generals who have torn the world asunder. With the armor of his ancestor Drac, the legendary knight Duran sets off to defeat Deoric's army in 7 different stages, the first six of which can be selected in a Mega Man level select style. Once the stage is selected, the player selects one of four armors to use, affecting his shots and bombs.
