Combat is text-based as well, allowing the player to select from options such as "Fight," "Magic," "Run," and often more complex situational commands like "Run my knife into the goblin's chest!" or "Quickly slash at its hand!"

In April of 2003, the ROM hacking group Demiforce released a patch that translates the game from Japanese to English. The patch works with the ROM image of the game used for playing console-based video games on personal computers through video game emulation. The ability to save games was not enabled, however, and some minor typos were left in; these have been remedied by the efforts of Radical R, who released a follow-up patch on June 22, 2004. The patch is stand-alone. The French team Terminus Traduction soon after made a French translation patch. Image File history File links Radical_Dreamer_English_Logo. ...
