The briefing
Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos is a real-time, first-person dungeon-crawling role-playing game released in 1992. The story follows a group of heroes seeking a cure for King Richard, who has been poisoned by the sorceress Scotia after she gains shapeshifting powers from the Mask.
Players choose from four hero classes: Mage, Warrior, Rogue, or a balanced all-round character. Skills develop semi-automatically through combat, with Fighting, Magic, and Rogue abilities improving based on the attacks used. A party of up to three heroes can be equipped with weapons and armor through a paper-doll interface.
