The game's graphics consist of highly detailed backgrounds and hand-drawn 2D sprites, or on-screen movable objects/animations that are integrated into the backgrounds in this case, the primary and secondary characters. Furthermore, much of the game depends upon how many lives the player spares�which aids the player in terms of manpower and resource production, but increases the difficulty yet again�so one cannot simply kill arbitrarily. The player can utilize an option that allows them to switch to their enemies' fields of vision, however, this is limited to one alternate point of view at a time and so must be used strategically. The difficulty and need for strategy increases when characters in the game�such as peasants or loyalists to the Sheriff or Prince John�alert Robin's enemies to the player's whereabouts. Players access missions using interactive maps, which double as navigational puzzles and can help the player avoid detection by the Sheriff's men. All the while, players must also recruit other Merry Men, train, and manually add to their own supplies back at their forest base. Whether robbing royal convoys on forest roads or completing major expeditions such as laying siege to a castle, players must use strategy to select the members of their teams�based on complementary special abilities�to maintain helpful allies, and to evade the Sheriff of Nottingham's men. The object of the game is to guide teams of Robin's men through a series of these missions, either of a money-generating nature or for the purpose of advancing the plot. Robin Hood's rich history as a character makes for an engaging storyline with varied mission objectives and dynamic combat within the game. Although there is no multiplayer option in this game, all of the classic story's characters are present, including Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet and Maid Marian.
