Tales of Illyria: Destinies is a side-scrolling fantasy action RPG. You become the hero of your own story, fighting to survive in a world where demons and dysentery can haunt you at every turn. You can choose your name, appearance, gender, and one of six kingdom origins. Each origin will have its own unique quest chain that you can complete at your leisure.
You can become a mercenary and recruit strong allies to fight on your side. Fight in the arena, sail across the seas to distant ports, hunt dragons and assassins, save a village or rob a merchant caravan because you really, really need gold. If you earn a high enough reputation, the kings will ask you to carry out secret missions against rival kingdoms.
