Lufia Ruins of Lore

The game is a traditional Japanese RPG with turn-based combat viewed from a top-down perspective. Enemy encounters are not random, and enemies are visible on screen. Initiating combat by approaching an enemy can give you an advantage in battles. Characters can master various "jobs", learning abilities and switching classes, or combining them to suit your playing style. Special items can be used in battle to capture monsters and turn them into allies, which can then be upgraded or merged with to become more powerful.
