Players follow characters, themes, and a plot inspired by Greek/Roman mythology in this strategy role-playing game (RPG). Players use a map to explore dungeons and engage in turn-based combat against fantastical creatures (e.g., centaurs, dragons, griffins, and satyrs) by selecting attacks from an on-screen menu. When enemies are hit, they usually stagger or fall to the ground. Pixilated, maroon-colored bloodstains can sometimes be seen from above as players explore dungeon floors. Characters often engage in dialogue to progress through the storyline. Some characters use the expletive "damn," while other characters make suggestive remarks (e.g., "Lily the Dancer! She's really as sexy as they say."). The game also contains brief references to alcohol (e.g., "this place has the happiest happy hour in Greece *hiccup*" and "but see if you still feel that way after a bottle of vino").
