Arkista's Ring was created by American Sammy for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990. It employs the classic top-down viewpoint commonly seen in action-adventure titles like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Shining Force. What makes it unique is its linear gameplay and the restriction to a single main character. Notably, Arkista's Ring is one of the earliest games to feature a female lead—an elf named Christine. Today, it is regarded as a rare gem among NES games.
The Elven ring of Arkista has been seized by the evil Shogun, plunging the entire Elven Kingdom into shadow. The Elves' only hope lies with the powerful warrior Christine, who wields only a bow as she journeys across the Kingdom to recover the stolen ring.
