As the dungeons are conquered and the area becomes more lifelike, treasure chests start appearing around the town and villagers often become friendlier.

They can also be upgraded with additional furniture and people (usually the owners of the building). Buildings can be placed down, rotated and moved as need be. Rebuilding is done outside the dungeon in a designated village area. Toan is the only character able to collect Atla spheres which contain different items needed to restore the villages destroyed by the Dark Genie.

Should a character lose all their health, they will fall in battle and be returned to town unless Stand-In powder is used, in which case that character is unavailable and control passes to another. Each character has a thirst meter, which much be replenished or health will start to drain. Items are also found and shared among the party, including restorative items, attack items and general power-ups. During his travels, Toan encounters other characters who will offer to aid him and can be switched to during dungeons, with individual statistics and weapons. Toan battles with a sword, which can be slashed directly in front of him or powered up for a stronger blow. Toan must enter randomly generated dungeons where he will battle monsters and recover Atla spheres.

Using a magic glove called the Atlamillia, Toan must resurrect the world and find the powers necessary to defeat the Dark Genie.ĭark Cloud is an action-RPG title, often compared to Soul Blazer, played from the 3rd person perspective. As Toan surveys the destruction, the Spirit King appears and tells him that all is not lost pieces of the world, including buildings and people, have been sealed away in protective Atla spheres. The only survivor of Norune is a boy named Toan, son of the great hero Ada. Barely controlled by a spell, the Dark Genie once again breaks the world, beginning with the village of Norune. Time has passed and in present day, the power-hungry General Flag has organized a ritual to awaken this power once more: the Dark Genie. 400 Years ago, a war between the Eastern Continent and the Western Wizard Army destroyed the world as a great power was unleashed.
