It is possible to finish the game without a companion. However, single-players will only have access to about 80 percent of the content.

Chariot follows the traditional side-scrolling layout. Even so, the presentation is visually stunning with colorful graphics. The plot follows the adventures of a princess who drags a cart containing her father's corpse to the final resting place. Along the way, she must collect jewelry to appease the king's spirit - who wants to be buried with treasure. Fortunately, the princess is aided by a faithful companion, who is controlled by the second player.

Regarded as expendable, the group is tasked with recovering a dangerous weapon before its falls into the wrong hands.
