Magic Knight Rayearth

## Description

The balance in the magical world of Cefiro is supported by the prayers of the
lovely princess Emerald. When the evil Sage Master imprisoned her, the
existence of the entire world was endangered. Using her spiritual powers, the
princess contacted three Japanese high-school girls, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu,
turned them into Magic Knights, and summoned them to Cefiro, where their goal
is to save her and to restore the balance.

This adaptation of the eponymous manga and anime series is an action game with
light role-playing elements, somewhat similar in style to Zelda games. The
protagonists are all the three girls, but the player can controls only one of
them at a time. Each one has advantages and disadvantages, as well as
different fighting styles: Hikaru uses swords, Umi a rapier, and Fuu a bow.
The player advances through the game by exploring the world, talking to non-
playable characters, and fighting enemies in real-time combat. There is no
experience system; new abilities (among them swimming and jumping) are gained
as dictated by the story, and must be used in certain points in order to
advance.
