Romancia follows the story of a young warrior who is tasked by the king to rescue a lost princess from the monster-infested catacombs. Your mission begins in the town, where you must venture into the dark caves to complete your quest.
The gameplay of Romancia takes a different approach compared to traditional RPGs like Dragon Slayer. Instead of receiving experience points, you must attack quicker and jump higher to progress through the levels. You can also buy items and weapons, use magic, and stay in inns to recover health. The hero's hit points are crucial, as losing them means failure.
