Guardian's Crusade is a role-playing game (RPG) that is clearly geared for younger players, based on the simple, cartoonish graphics and kid-friendly storyline. And though die-hard RPG fans will probably be unimpressed with the simple dialogue and light plot, this game may appeal to the targeted player.
Gamers assume the role of an adventurous knight who accidentally stumbles upon a baby monster. The knight (with the help of a shimmering fairy) then sets off to return the baby to its home. As in many RPG titles, the quest is filled with enemies. Guardian's Crusade contains the usual random battle sequences, but these encounters are played a bit differently than most other RPGs. For example, the monsters in the maps of Guardian's Crusade are shown as pink tadpoles, which attack the character as soon as they see him.
