Story
While on a treasure hunt on an uncharted island, Prince Ali has found the Gold Armlet, a magical artifact. As soon as he puts it on, he learns that the Gold Armlet was originally used by Reharl, a sorcerer, to defeat Agito, another sorcerer who wanted to destroy the Kingdom of Oasis with his Silver Armlet, a long time ago. Both sorcerers died in the epic battle, and the armlets were lost until now. The Gold Armlet governs the four spirits of Oasis, which Ali must find in order to stop the person who has found the Silver Armlet from destroying Oasis.
Gameplay
The Story of Thor is an action RPG played from a top-down perspective. Ali can walk around by pressing the D-Pad in any direction, and double-tapping a direction will make him sprint. Pressing jumps, and holding crouches while walking. attacks. How long the player holds for, how many times they have it pressed, whether or not they are jumping, and whether or not they are moving all determine which attack they perform (though it will always be either using a sword or kicking). is also used to talk to villagers. START opens up a menu where the player can equip weapons and items, check their progress, look at a map, and save.

- Open Weapons menu.
- Open Items menu.
Furthermore, the MODE button is also used in this game. Pressing MODE + switches between the dagger and chosen weapon. In addition, some cheats require the use of buttons that aren't available on a Three Button Control Pad.
