In this action-adventure game, based on the Lord of the Rings franchise, players assume the role of Aragorn on his quest to become king and bring peace to the land. The game features bright and colorful renditions of Middle Earth's key locations, as the hobbit Sam retells "new" adventures to his young children. Players explore fantasy landscapes while using swords, bows, spears, and torches to defeat enemy creatures. Players mostly swipe at orcs, goblins, trolls, and giant spiders that all cry out in pain when defeated; other impact sound effects include sword clangs and slashes, various "whooshes," and mild grunts (e.g., "Ahhh!" and "Uhhhh!"). More ominous enemies include a Ring Wraith dressed in black-cloaked robes and a long-tentacled creature with a lethal squeezing attack.
