Without considering its place in Game Boy's history, it's a very generic JPRG. However, it was also one of the first that figured out how to cram all of the usual information into the GB's small screen and at least that technical achievement is commendable.

Un juego muy bueno que, a pesar de que usa contraseñas para continuar, y que en ocasiones es un poco complejo (además de que a veces la música es un poco repetitiva), la verdad es que es muy entretenido y divertido.

the game boy rpg equivalent to telling the same joke four or five times over the course of a night to the same group of people every time and then pretending not to notice the looks on their faces getting more grim with each subsequent telling

not even my love for awful translations could save this game from being dropped when i found out i'd have to grind for like 5-6 levels (19-25 out of a max of 31) against the worst enemies in the game... and never die in the process lest i get sent back to the beginning of a triple-layered maze, all in order to have a chance to beat an rng-heavy two-phase final boss

People actually played this game in Japan. In 1990. Weird
