well if you player think gauntlet legends it has all 4 people on one screen and if you use a gameboy advanced it has a map for items and other stuff its different for each player .
Quote: "2.What kind of battle system does it have? turn based, time, do all players get to move around and choose actions at once, or is it like a classic rpg where you stand in line and actions go in order.
"
this is like the secret of mana or the legend of mana but a little different it's not turn based it's real time like zelda with super strong bosses with alot of HP.
