The story is simple: An evil {{necromancer}} stole a [[MacGuffin magical talisman]] from the village of Tambry, and now [[SiblingTeam three brothers]], Julian, Phillip, and Kevin, set out to retrieve it. Along the way, they SaveThePrincess, help a giant sea turtle, and kill a WickedWitch, before finally confronting the necromancer in his lair. In a unique twist, you only ever control one brother at a time, but should he perish, the next oldest sibling [[TakeUpMySword takes up his sword]] to complete TheQuest.

!!The game contains examples of following tropes:
* ActionHero: Julian starts out with the highest Bravery stat, and thus, the most HitPoints.
* ActionRPG: The game was the very first top-down WesternRPG that featured real time combat.
* GuileHero: Phillip relies on his smarts and high LuckStat to overcome TheQuest.
* KarmaMeter: The Kindness stat can be raised by performing selfless acts and becomes important at several points in the story. Kevin starts out with a large boost to it.
* MacGuffin: The magical talisman stolen by the necromancer.
* {{Necromancer}}: One serves as the BigBad of the game.
* PlotCoupons: In addition to other objectives, several artifacts are required to access the necromancer's home plane.
* PowerTrio: The three brothers: Julian is a [[ActionHero fighter]], Phillip is the [[GuileHero clever one]], and Kevin is the [[TheHeart kind one]].
* SaveThePrincess: Saving the king's daughter is one of the "optional" objectives.
* SideQuest: Subverted. Several seemingly optional objectives turn out to be essential to reach the BigBad.
* TurtlePower: A sea turtle's aid is required to reach the villain's lair.
* VideoGameLives: The LuckStat functions as this: Each time a PC dies, they are brought BackFromTheDead but their Luck is decreased by one. If it runs out, it's either the next brother's turn (itself an example of VideoGameLives) or GameOver.
* WickedWitch: Defeating her is one of the requirements to get to the FinalBoss.
* WideOpenSandbox: The country of Holm, where Tambry is located, spans over 17,000 screens, with no loading ones in-between.
