The game is somewhat similar to ''Zelda II'' for the NES, featuring an overworld viewed from above and a series of dungeons or areas which are played as a platform game. While in the platforming areas, the player can only face in one direction and only attack enemies ahead of them. ''Golvellius'' has a password system that allows the player to continue with their items intact.
