Legend of Heroes' quest spanned multiple chapters filled with plenty of grind-filled leveling, strange twists, and traditional turn-based gameplay taking you on a grand adventure. A neat gem of an RPG filled with brutal beasties along with sweet and sour ear candy, especially for the TG-16 CD crowd!

Combat was turn-based and didn't award experience (only gold). Fortunately, death isn't the end as Eldritch will bring you back in case that happens with a slight scolding. Getting hurt in combat, like being bruised, can even affect your stats like lowering my Charisma to Offensive. Yikes.

Encounters were more in your face in this chapter, but unlike the first game, it came with a text file filled with hints on how to solve it (if not how to survive some of the more crushing surprises!) continuing to stand out as a murder mystery series that also spoke RPG.

Silviana: Ai Ippai no Boukensha (1988) | action RPG | Nintendo Famicom Disk System | Pack-In-Video Instead of saving the world, Silviana just wants to find medicine for her mom! And even after living the adventurer's life, she can still come home to visit, giving her the strength to keep fighting.

Vagrant Story (2000) | action RPG | Sony PlayStation | Square Lea Monde's haunted depths hid many dangers that tested its sophisticated combat system. Players could swap gear in mid-combat to meet the most current challenge, target individual body parts, and even craft (and name) their own gear!

Xanadu: Dragon Slayer II (1985) | action RPG | PC platforms | Nihon Falcom Falcom's revolutionary action RPG featured an adventure packed with features like a unique skill system and a vast, underground world to explore. It also received many ports such as a slight glow up on the PC-98 in 1995!

Combat was staunchly traditionalist in sticking to what worked before, improving it with small tweaks while embellishing its presentation with fancy effects. It also didn't transition to a special backdrop or screen - if you ran into an enemy in a hallway, you fought in that hallway!

Despite sticking to the basics, it made the most of them with plenty of NPCs to talk to, charming graphics in exploration and combat, and a quest with unusual characters and monsters inspired by Japanese folklore. You only had one character to focus on and, of course, quite a bit of grinding ahead!

Great Greed (1992) by Namco was an RPG released for the Nintendo Game Boy with some of the greatest NPC names ever put in a cartridge. Helping to check acid rain levels, you are suddenly whisked away by magic to another world where you must battle the evil Bio-Hazard Harry! (a shortcake thread)

Wibarm mixed 2D action and 3D exploration. Defeating enemies earned stat improvements (Ability and Mental), different enemies were vulnerable to different weapons, and players were free to explore and leave areas if they were unprepared. You could even 'see' encounters and use an automap!
