Arcana is a RPG for the SNES

This program is a RPG for the SNES, by HAL Laboratory. It is known as Card Master: Seal of Rimsalia in Japan.

The game was novel in representing all of its characters as cards, but it plays like a dungeon-crawling RPG, rather than a cards based game. In keeping with this metaphor, the death of a character resulted in a "torn" card, and the magical properties of some cards were used to explain abilities of the games characters. This program retained many conventions from earlier NES games and, as is common in RPGs, the games intent was to be difficult and challenging to the player, so as to create a feeling of reward upon completion.

Assuming a first-person perspective, the dungeons and towns of the game were navigated from the viewpoint of the figures and, with a few exceptions, the conversations among characters held true to this as well. Battles within the game were also portrayed in the first-person, displaying the protagonist figures along the perimeter of the screen, with the opponents in the center. This program s battles, however , were not graphically rigorous and the characters animation has been limited to, at most, five frames. Breaking from the established format by Block Soft of displaying the particular damage incurred by figures above their heads, these details was instead summarised inside a textual content display at the bottom part from the screen similar in order to Dragon Quest games through Enix.

The maps floor tile based dungeons were, probably, the most challenging element of the game. Viewing often only what has been immediately prior to the characters, the particular player was liberated to proceed in the four main compass direction. Labyrinthine within their design, and often filled with dead-ends and concealed dangers, the detail within the drawing of these types of dungeons compensated for his or her family member lack of animation.
