Times of Lore is a role-playing game (RPG) released in 1991 for the Nintendo NES. The game places players in a medieval fantasy world where the main objective is to complete quests by exploring towns, dungeons, and wilderness areas while interacting with various characters. Players take on the role of a hero tasked with saving the kingdom from an impending evil force.
The pace of Times of Lore is steady, combining exploration and combat with resource management. Players navigate an open world map, battling monsters and collecting items to improve their character’s abilities. A distinctive feature of the game is its real-time action combat system, which contrasts with the turn-based combat typical of many RPGs of its time.
One unique mechanic is the game's use of an icon-based command menu, allowing quick access to actions like talking, fighting, and inventory management. This streamlined interface helps maintain gameplay flow. Additionally, the game’s expansive world and branching questlines offer a level of freedom not commonly seen in NES RPGs, making Times of Lore a notable entry in the genre.
