Ali travels the land of Oasis, gradually acquiring the ability to summon all these spirits, in an attempt to stop the person who has discovered the ancient silver armlet and is once again using it for evil.

Beyond Oasis was re-released as a downloadable game for various home and portable platforms: on the Wii Virtual Console in 2007,[5] on Steam in 2012, App Store and Google Play Store in 2017 (now delisted[6]), and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack in 2022.

[10] A reviewer for Next Generation contended that the combination of RPG and action elements results in a game which is average on both fronts.

He added: "The use of magic, whether it be the fireball or meteor storm; a user-friendly interface; and an ever-ready map put Beyond Oasis beyond others of its type.

[18] IGN gave the Virtual Console re-release an 8/10, calling it "very stylish," and expressing "surprise" that despite a lack of polish in certain areas, its "unique" mechanics "deserve to be mentioned alongside such classics as Secret of Mana".
