Most of the game takes place in dungeons, with a heavy emphasis on puzzles. The player takes on the role of a young adventurer who can have up to two sprites, creatures that perform tasks such as healing or long range attacks, following you at one time. There are five dungeons in the game: The Tower of Light, Ancient Ruins, the Ice Castle, Droog Volcano, and Platinum. You start out in the town of Arcs; there is only one other town, Toronto (not to be confused with the real city of Toronto, Ontario). In Toronto there is a battle arena in which the player can fight for money. The player can also bet on other competitors. The game features several kinds of weapons including bows, boomerangs, swords, axes, and flails. An aspect of the game that sets it apart from RPGs such as Final Fantasy is the main character's inability to gain experience or level up. Defeated enemies yield gold, not experience points. Throughout the game the player can acquire better armor and weapons to increase his defensive and offensive capabilities, similar to the Legend of Zelda series. The sprites that accompany the protagonist could level up by picking up blue 'XP' orbs that were dropped randomly by defeated enemies.
Remeer's father, the last of the dragon warriors, was sent on a quest to find the last of the dragons terrorizing the village. His father never returned.
Years later Remeer sets out on his own journey to find out what happened to his father. Remeer is joined by his four friends: Kashian (a bounty hunter), Barness (a spiritual guru), Rein (a warrior), and Ferris (a witch). Each help him as he makes his way through the five dungeons in the land.

Brain Lord is a lesser-known and less popular Enix game. Soul Blazer, Terranigma, ActRaiser, E.V.O.: Search for Eden, Dragon Warrior V and many others all gained far more notoriety.
Brain Lord concentrates heavily on puzzles (hence its name), with combat almost as an aside. Some of the puzzles are stupidly easy while others are very frustrating indeed. It also featured an innovative system of magical helpers known as Jades that could be summoned from various precious stones found or bought throughout the game world. These Jades can light dark areas or fight or perform various other tasks, and can even level up (not unlike Pokémon) after gathering enough XP crystals. This is somewhat odd, given that the main character does NOT level up at all. Instead, he becomes more powerful from better equipment and spells, or by using items that increase his power, defense and health meter.
