Story

The Queen of the land has been acting mysterious lately. She has been wandering around unescorted wearing a strange mask. It's up to you, the hero, to find the Queen, get rid of the mask, and ultimately to find out who was behind this plot. On the way Prince Anlace, your father and a young girl named Fleurette join your quest to save the Queen.

Gameplay

Although you have four members in your party, only one can fight alongside with you during the battles. The game has typical RPG elements such as leveling up through experience points, buying items and upgraded weapons, and dungeon crawling. The actual battle begins, utilizes the wii-mote and you you swing it remote like a real sword. There are three basic slashes: vertical, horizontal, and diagonal. You can hit the A button to target a specific spot onscreen while the B button is used for blocking. As you kill more monsters, a special attack gauge fills up which allows you to unleash a very powerful blow. It requires a special remote movement to complete. Your partner plays an important role as the cast spells from the sidelines and you can either have the computer manage their actions or you can tell them what to do. The game is about 8+ hours long.
