Axiom

Axiom (アクシオム) is a role-playing game made by Koei. It is given the subtitle "Vessel of Penance, Bait Hides the Hook".

Plot
A long time ago, there once lived a beautiful paradise known as Greenock. Nicknamed the "Eternal City", it flourished for thousands of years until a cataclysmic event separated the region from the mainland. This disaster marked the return of a dark priest called Ulgullete who previously died at the hands of Bandbull, a renowned hero. The people were horrified as their once-majestic temples became infested with monsters, thus beginning a dark age that lasted for at least a decade.

One day, the city elder Thomas experienced a prophetic dream and gathered twenty young people. Among them, he picked six righteous individuals, entrusting them to seek out the ancient wisdom of their ancestors and save Greenock from Ulgullete's reign of terror once and for all.

Gameplay
The player must lead a party of six characters beneath Greenock's labyrinths and uncover the secrets within. Characters have access to three different classes: warrior, mage, and scholar. Each one is given special traits that influence their usage of certain commands. They can be equipped with weapons and armor bought from the shop.

Exploration is done through first-person perspective. Caution is advised while moving as some levels are filled with traps meant to weaken the player's party. When encountering enemies, party members may choose to attack them directly or cast magic spells. Note that some spells can only be used in camp mode. Defeating an enemy yields experience points and gold.
