Spectacular combat with visual pyrotechnics to set this apart from the competition. The development of the series from the Saturn and Dreamcast is a joy to watch and the progression with each instalment is quite staggering.

Its easy to see why there is a deep affinity for Growlanser as it sticks to the sprite based world and the detail is stunning. Players soon for a team to negotiate its isometric world and the sprite graphics add to the bond that forms.

Super Famicom
RPG
Square unleashed in a fun filled Japanese cultural style RPG from the golden age of the Super Famicom RPG’s. Plenty of wacky characters of ‘Goemon’ proportions and self references to other Square franchises as the lighter side to Final Fantasy’s creators comes to the fore.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Pixel perfect Square graphics as it matches its own sprawling epic Final Fantasy with immense graphical attention to detail and imaginative boss battles plus plenty of side quests against wonderfully realised monsters. Sheer clash.
PS2
RPG
From the spoof warning of jokes on the packaging, it clear this version of Hanjuku Hero is very tongue in cheek throughout the RPG experience and it works a treat in setting the right tone of humour.
Mega CD
RPG
Originally on the Commodore Amiga, this occidental isometric RPG is based on Norse mythology. Ragnarok, the ultimate battle, is raging on earth and three of the gods have had their weapons stolen. To retrieve them they give special powers to the chosen one, a mere mortal and that’s where your mission begins.
Super Famicom
RPG
Well-respected Super Famicom title that has stood the test of time due to its massive slant on action in the RPG dungeon arena. Players control an orb and use it to fire at the hordes hidden in the dank depths or to break through the ice blocks to progress. Excellent boss battles ensue – ones to savour for those that don’t mind taking down the big fish, or dragon or two. Known as Firestriker in the West.
Dreamcast
RPG
Gorgeous Sega online RPG when the company poured its heart and soul into its dream machine. Superb, intuitive combat engine with slick presentation, stunning cut-scenes and emotional avatars.
Famicom Cart
RPG
A role player set in a feudal Japan of temples, samurai and giant cat fish with human faces. Players traverse the landscape getting into the odd scrape with a grizzly bear or two.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Tidy, diminutive sprites that mean a screen fills the full map of that particular dungeon or maze. Definitely more of an action RPG with sword fights en route to grabbing key items with the chip tunes blasting out.
Switch
RPG
Plenty of platform action in this RPG with combat sequences that are very reminiscent of Guardian Heroes in appearance with big, bold and brash protagonists. Very colourful and fast-paced.
Playstation
RPG
From the anime series comes this spin off adventure with original story and plenty of stunningly realised scenes.
Wonderswan
RPG
The Inuyasha world brought to life on the small colour screen and looking lavish. Enjoyable adventure romp with impressive combat sequences.

Famicom Cart
RPG
Explore the vast gaming world in what looks like a deep sea divers suit, more likely a space suit with Jarvas having come from the future.
Super Famicom
RPG
Certainly bizarre as players pick a card and go through a sim style battle with a rich wealth of characters that wouldnt look out of place in the mystic field on day three of Glastonbury. Colourful and true to the unusual source material.
Dreamcast
RPG
Released with the console itself, spooky adventure based in London in a similar mould to “D”. A collectors item as one of the first Dreamcast releases.

Famicom Cart
RPG
Shrunk down sprites in the Final Fantasy style works a treat backed up by some invigorating chip tunes really squeezing the inner orchestra out of the hardware. The quest is a beautiful tapestry as the threads are expertly spun together. Traversing the lands and exploring the towns in this old school RPG.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Juvei has plenty of cute, Mother-style sprite characters to join him, resplendent in his Black Jack eye patch, as he traverses the detailed RPG in this Famicom classic. Well worth investing the time that Namcot has clearly put into this exquisite adventure.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Similarities to Goemons escapades as players must negotiate the hoards of enemy fighters but then be rewarded for a hard days work with a stay in a traditional Japanese inn. The use of Ninjutsu makes good use of the ninja element to the game and separates it from the fantasy RPG genre with a more traditional, ancient Japanese setting.
Nintendo DS
RPG
Plays like an anime version of The Water Margin, no surprise seeing as the original source material is based on Chinese legend. Action RPG with quick fix combat and very stylised, watercolour characters offering advice with big beards and rotund figures. Highly competent and full of katakana text sound effects making it play like a live manga strip.
