Has anyone else encountered this one?
I came across it as part of Retro Games Challenge for the DS, and I had never before heard of it. It is very similar to the original Dragon Warrior...but yet a lot different, too.
For one thing, you get three characters. For another - your hits are somewhat randomized as to how good they are based on when you mash the "A" button...better weapons miss less frequently...and get Criticals more often.
Also, in this game, there are only two towns, two dungeons, and one other area - you only need this area at the very end of the game.
The story is solid enough and it has all the feel of a Dragon Warrior early-era game. I'm enjoying this one.
One weird thing about this one...instead of a "Return" spell, you have "Warp" - but "Warp" will work to bring you back EVEN IF YOU ARE WAY INSIDE A DUNGEON - whereas the "Return" spell would not work inside dungeons, and you often had an "Escape" type spell you could use to get out.
I like the story concept.
