There once existed a world called Rune Wards, at the boundary between light and darkness. Everything—life, prosperity, and even gods—was born, flourished, and eventually perished there. The story of Ia-Rune Wards begins with the birth of the Absolute God Iatirus. Yet even this is but a small fragment of the tales meant to be told within Rune Wards...

Originally released in 1990, this action RPG casts players as a young traveler journeying through the world of Rune Wards, gradually drawn into a grand adventure. While it may appear to be a conventional action RPG at first glance, it features numerous unique gameplay elements.

For instance, character level-ups occur through events or items, minimizing the need for combat and allowing players to focus purely on the story. Spells require casting time, and if the player is attacked during incantation, the spell is interrupted. Even opening treasure chests or simple crouching animations feature dedicated character animations—these details combine to create a uniquely expressive RPG experience.

Additionally, a sequel was released for the PC-9801 platform, so this is the perfect opportunity to play through the series in full. Fans of epic fantasy RPGs are sure to be captivated.

※ About 'Project EGG'

The 1980s saw a variety of computing platforms such as the PC-9801, FM-7, and X1. PC games released during this era have profoundly influenced modern entertainment. However, due to media degradation and technological shifts, many of these games have become increasingly difficult to play.

D4Enterprise views retro games as part of cultural heritage and launched 'Project EGG' to preserve them. With deep respect for game content, hardware, developers, and fans, the company is committed to ensuring retro games remain accessible and enjoyable for generations to come.
