When a battle starts, Takeru and Baan automatically attack and will do so until they kill the enemies or die, but with Luna in the party, the player is given the option to use one of the four available magic spells. The party still has three characters, with Luna, the main heroine from the first game, taking Sophia’s place as the magic user. Perhaps feeling that the battle systems in the previous games weren’t very good, Elf decided to try an auto-battle system for the third game. Overall it’s a change for the worse, and the staff clearly wasn’t ready to take on a RPG with a big world to explore. Other than that, the dungeons’ layouts are all boring and mostly straightforward, a huge contrast to the mazes in the first two games. Throughout the whole game there’s also only one dungeon with an actual puzzle, which involves getting part of the solution from two different NPCs (which can only be done by saving and reloading, as each NPC won’t tell you his part of the solution if you’ve talked to the other NPC first) or finding the whole solution based on a hint from another NPC. Most of the game is just spent traveling from town to town in a linear way and without any meaningful deviations, as the only optional stuff available is some few extra sex scenes. Every town looks mostly the same and there’s no real fun to be had in exploring. But unfortunately, it ended up being an uninteresting world. This time around, Takeru is controlled from an overhead view, akin to classic console RPGs like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, and there’s a world map with various towns to visit and explore, including the two towns from the previous games. Voiced by Kenji Utsumi in the PC Engine version.įor Takeru’s third and final adventure, Elf decided to change the game system to something completely different from the previous games. He promises Takeru to give him money to get his equipment back if he gets rid of the bandits living in the mountains west of the town.
