About

In Global Folktale animals have captured the land and humans have retreated to a faraway place. But after years of hiding the time for cowardice is over, as the people stand united and decide to fight back to reclaim what's theirs. Led by Allen, Prince of Zodia Kingdom, players gain control of an eight character party to battle their feral foes in a variety of locations and environments. Unlike most strategy/RPGs, the combat takes place in real-time with 3D polygonal graphics, while each character is supported by a multitude of customization options, weapons, and items.
