The game is based a couple hundred years after the first game, in Albion. Some things have changed while remains of structures and other places from the first game remain. The combat system has been changed, and bows have been replaced by guns (resembling pistols and rifles). Gold is not earned by completing quests, but by taking jobs around various towns, which consists of repeatedly pressing a the A button.
