Such a weird damn game but honestly so bizarre that it's a little charming. I think if you're a fan of falcom or are curious about the history of ARPGs you should check this game out even if it's only for like an hour or so. I beat the first "Phase" AKA map and felt like I had my fill.

There's technically 10 maps in the game but the objective is the same in all of them, kill the dragon and collect the four crowns.

They also don't have it marked but I played the Sega Saturn port on the Falcom Classics Collection! Very cool version with a nice little OST and some pretty nice graphics for such a primitive game.

Mostly just a low score because it's really hard to actually justify playing something this primitive outside of sheer curiousity. If you wanna play an early ARPG that's actually fantastic go check out Ys 1+2 on the PC Engine : )
