A stolen jewel sets young Bowie and his friends on a journey that eventually threatens their entire world. Between battles, you explore towns, speak to residents, and recruit an army with distinct personalities and battlefield roles.

Combat unfolds on a grid, where movement, terrain, and attack range turn each encounter into a spatial problem. Characters earn experience through their own actions, so keeping a balanced force requires deliberate opportunities for weaker allies. Promotion changes how units develop, while equipment and spell growth give familiar faces new uses. Its bright presentation softens a campaign that can punish careless advances.
