Like first game, you play a hybrid fighter/mage (though will need to learn spells on site) tasked to search for clues, poke about the area for goodies to fill your inventory with, listen to NPCs' stories, and ultimately, find the murderer responsible for a student's death at a famed magic academy!

Cosmic Fantasy 2 (1991) was an RPG by Nippon Telenet for the TurboGrafx-CD. Featuring traditional, turn-based combat, a big world, and a story to unwind, players take on the role of Van whose crush, Laura, is kidnapped by a wicked mage for the power she secretly holds! (a space twist thread)

Gauntlet II (1986) | dungeon crawler | arcade | Atari Games A year later, Atari delivered even more dungeons with a sequel! Players could now choose the same character (party of Wizards anyone?), introduced new maps with features like invisible walls, and still reminded you not to shoot the food.

Tangled Tales is much like an adventure game with RPG elements and turn-based combat thrown in for a bit of flavor It also made things more interesting with its menagerie of colorful NPCs. And true to its title, fairy tale cameos mix things up for a bit of humor and adventure.

Later, a new "main character" travelling via space ship (explaining the "Cosmic") arrives to take over the story many years later. Despite not bringing gear comparable to what Van had before leaving the stage (even though she's from a galaxy-spanning civilization), she's filled with determination!

Mighty Final Fight (1993) | beat 'em up | NES | Capcom Capcom's hit beat 'em up from 1989, Final Fight, punched its way into an unexpected, chibi-sized weight class on the NES! Like its arcade roots, players could kick, punch, and suplex their way through Metro City, now with RPG-like leveling.

Tangled Tales (1989) was an adventure game and RPG hybrid for PCs like the Apple II by Origin Systems. After an accident with adamantine dust and a squirrel, your master, Eldritch, punishes you by erasing your spellbook before giving you a chance at redemption! (a tangled thread)

Wibarm (1986) is an action shooter with RPG elements by Arsys first seen on the PC-88 in Japan. With your transforming mech, Wibarm, it's up to you to save the city from invasion! Regarded as one of the first RPGs to break away from grid-based movement with its 3D mazes. (a Thexder adjacent thread)

Gauntlet IV (1993) | dungeon crawler | Sega Genesis | M2 M2 refreshed Gauntlet's iconic top-down dungeons in the 90s featuring modes like an RPG-flavored quest with gear to buy and XP to earn. Fresh tunes by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata also accompanied brave players on their adventure!

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.
