It is hard to describe this game, and the screenshots don�t explain it either. There are really three distinct play styles:
Overworld�a classic RPG-style world where you walk around and get into random battles. Stepping on a town the same size as you takes you to a town area.
Random battles�side-scrolling battles against classic Golden Axe foes. Not being able to move up or down makes it much more challenging
Dungeon Exploration�side-scrolling, but the monsters are more one-hit-kills things like bats and fish.
It is essentially a very simple RPG, but is very challenging. Most notable among its unique features is that magic pots not only destroy enemies but also act as a currency in inns and such.
To clarify, see the links below for shots of the various modes.

(Garrett) - # 2006For those in the know, this game is very similar to the Gameboy game 'Gargoyle's Quest' but much more challenging.
