• Posted on r/tipofmyjoystick: [Famicom][Unknown year] Side scrolling RPG-ish metroidvania

  Platform(s): Famicom (probably no NES version)

  Genre: RPG/Platformer/Metroidvania

  Estimated year of release: Famicom era, so sometime 1986-1990 maybe

  Graphics/art style: Side-scrolling 2d graphics. The environment was all in, uh, I want to say “blocks” (like a mario game I guess?), with the main character being like 1.5-2 blocks high.

  Notable characters: The main (and only) character was I think some kind of bluish knight kind of person with a sword.

  Notable gameplay mechanics:

  Other details: A friend and I played it back in the Famicom days, we had to study katakana/hiragana to figure out how to advance. It was some sort of primitive metroidvania-style 2d platformer with exploratory elements. This is all I have to go on unfortunately. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Amazing, this was it! I last posted this a couple of years ago and no one was able to identify it! Thanks a bunch!

  But why is the video posted in English? The Wikipedia page doesn’t list an English release for the game and I definitely remember only playing it in Japanese. Or is there a romhack translation?
