Title
This game is something else. Capcom tried to cram the scope, variety, and wonder of a fantasy RPG into an hour-long arcade beat-'em-up. It has many systems and choices that work alongside the action in delightful ways, allowing you to play as a spell-casting wizard or a treasure-looting thief if you want to. Kinu Nishimura's character designs are iconic, and the sprite work is peak Capcom. It has several crossroads which prevent you from experiencing the whole game in one play, and extremely-hidden secrets that you should probably look up. It's not the most technically perfect beat-'em-up, but it more than makes up for it in creativity. Few games have followed in its footsteps, such as Dragon's Crown or Dungeon Fighter, and I think the formula should be explored further, because they were really on to something here.
