The gameplay is described as nostalgic and reminiscent of classic titles like the original Prince of Persia, appealing particularly to fans of the Dragonlance series.

“Old school as heck, but a lot of fun if you like Prince of Persia (the original) style gameplay and are also a big fan of the original Dragonlance books/modules.”
“I've read all the Dragonlance novels (the first two dozen or so, I won't lie) and I've played countless hours of War of the Lance back in the day. Even though there is no need for the 'word check' with this PC version, you can just hit enter and bypass it. I am going to upload the game manual here so anyone (like me) who wants to relive this amazing game for its time has the reference guide to know some of the game mechanics that you will not be told while playing the game itself.”
