Times of Lore The Lost Medallion is an open-world fantasy action adventure ported by Toho for the Famicom. Players choose between warrior, mage or thief, exploring a vast interconnected medieval kingdom. Complete quests, collect equipment and battle monsters to recover the ancient medallion and restore peace.
The seamless overworld contains towns, forests, mountain passes and multi-layer dungeons. Real-time overhead combat pits the hero against goblins, undead and magical beasts. Villages provide healing, gear shopping and quest information.
Powerful dragon and sorcerer bosses guard relics deep within underground vaults. Hidden woodland trails hold rare enchanted accessories for thorough explorers.
Toho’s atmospheric pastoral medieval tile graphics and sombre fantasy background music deliver immersive open-world exploration.
Strategically, medallion recovery demands playing to class strengths. Mages must maintain distance from heavy melee foes; warriors should stock healing potions before long dungeon expeditions.
For contemporary Famicom retro open-world adventure collectors, Times of Lore is a rare domestic port of a classic Western computer action RPG.
