Gameplay
The gameplay is a traditional role-playing game with some unique twists. For example, there are no numerical stats. Instead, everything is represented by the character's facial expressions and sprites. Mythological creatures appear in their expected locations. For example, harpies are located on mountains and attack with their singing voice.
Everything utilizes a magical element: Fire, Ice Storm, Thunder, and Bayoen. Some enemies are weaker against one particular magic attack than another.
There are only 11 spells in Madō Monogatari: Hanamaru Daiyōchienji; contrasting with the numerous amounts of spells used in Dragon Quest.
