About This Retro Game
Unlike typical RPGs focused on defeating evil, Ultima IV emphasizes moral choices and self-improvement through eight virtues.
The NES version features redesigned dungeons, a magic system using reagents, and turn-based combat with first-person dungeon crawling.
Considered groundbreaking for its ethical focus, it influenced later Western RPGs like The Elder Scrolls series.
