Summary pulled directly from Steam - Some text may only be applicable to Steam platform

PHANTASIE I:

When sorcery ruled, and trolls and minotaurs still walked this Earth, a party of six intrepid adventurers set out to find the Nine Rings and use them to destroy the Dark Lord. This is your quest. This is your... Phantasie.

A multiple-character role-playing game, PHANTASIE transports you to the medieval isle of Gelnor for the adventure of your dreams. You command a group of one to six characters with such roles as monk, priest, wizard, ranger, thief, or fighter. Your companions need not be human; they may be gnomes, elves, orcs, or lizardmen — just to name a few exotic races.
With this motley crew, you search the lands for the Nine Rings to help you wipe out the scourge of Gelnor — the Dark Lord and his evil minions. You'll map out new terrain, explore maze-like dungeons, solve puzzles, learn spells, gain experience, and battle countless monsters. In every town you visit, you can recruit new members to replace lost or unneeded comrades.

Beautiful 90s color graphics and a spell-binding storyline suspend reality and launch you into our magical world. No computer-carrying adventurer will want to miss out on the glorious excitement and enchanting experience that is PHANTASIE.

PHANTASIE II:

For no reason other than to embellish his title, the Dark Lord Nickademus fashioned an evil orb. With it, he cast a curse on a beautiful island and enslaved its people. Now, six travelers brave his wrath to find and destroy his nefarious handiwork in… Phantasie II.

A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS...

Your quest to remove the evil warlock's curse will be no easy task since there are precious few clues. All you know is that locating the orb requires a danger-filled search of a vast wilderness and of dungeons, a trip to the Astral Plane and the Netherworld — wherever they are.

You command a band of one to six adventurers, each endowed with the skills of a monk, priest. wizard, ranger, thief, or fighter. You can recruit new members to replace unneeded or fallen comrades. During this quest, you'll help your heroes gather treasure, solve puzzles, learn spells, and battle the Dark Lord's countless hordes. With all these magical distractions and obstructions, don't forget that finding the orb will do you no good. You'll still have to find a way to destroy it!
