Seal of Rimsala is a labor of love, built as a definitive version of Arcana. Also known as Card Master, Arcana is one of HAL Laboratory's forgotten RPGs: a first-person dungeon crawler wrapped in a striking card-and-spirit aesthetic, with a memorable soundtrack and a distinct sense of atmosphere. Seal of Rimsala revisits that foundation with a careful eye toward clarity, pacing, and polish.
Rather than reinventing the game beyond recognition, the project focuses on making Arcana feel smoother, sharper, and more complete. It keeps the identity of the original intact while improving the experience for modern players.
Seal of Rimsala features...
- A brand new English translation from Japanese
- Clearer and more descriptive story text
- An improved map with symbols for doors, treasure chests, and more
- Faster gameplay with a wide range of anti-frustration improvements
- A new status screen with icons and damage bonuses
- Extra polish, secrets, and bug fixes
For players curious about a distinctive 16-bit dungeon crawler that often flies under the radar, Seal of Rimsala offers a strong way to experience Arcana at its best.
