One of the most important survival horror games and RPGs ever. Honestly, the constant item swapping was surprisingly addictive and I appreciate how ballsy Capcom was to make a limited amount of healing across the game. I think they went overboard with puzzles like the blue candles and the endings are quite silly but the raw ambition and charm carry it hardcore. It's cool to see a game like this with an emphasis on permadeath as well. Also, even with 8-bit graphics, a lot of the enemy designs managed to be disturbing.
