Even though I tend not to like super like, action-y, twitch-y games like this, I have a huuuuge soft spot for the game Oni from back in the day, and this seemed kinda up that alley, so I gave it a shot!
Super duper against type for me to really be able to hang with this, but I had a decent time! I like the way the main character looks and the movement is fun--plus I love that PS2 Shinobi game so I felt pretty at home with this.
Overall I dug it! Pretty fun way to spend a little time

Played this one with my wife on Retroarch on our homebrewed PS3 from underneath our kotatsu during this chilly wintry week and that was basically the best possible context to play this silly cozy little game.
I’m a big big big time lover of Lunar, with the Mega CD Lunars being two of my all time favorite games, and despite the name on the tin, there’s just some “oh hey I know them!” style things for fans. Put another way, if you’ve never played a Lunar you’re not missing anything here
That said, this is a very frothy and pretty short Game Gear RPG, with all that entails. Mazes, random battles out the wazoo and dungeons that you revisit like 3+ times each. The charm comes from the really cute sprites and from just enjoying the Saturday morning cartoon vibes. There’s not a lot of gameplay depth or depth of any kind really.
Once you play this you should also check out the cute and funny anime short they released of this game attached to an Evangelion movie-theater release in 1997! Someone on YouTube ripped a VHS release of it that has a really cute interview with the voice actors in the end that my level of Japanese was sufficient to get the gist of but it I’d love to have a like N1 level person translate it!

WELL. Thank god for save states because this sure is a 1988-ass RPG. I've been playing it in like 15 minute chunks for well over a year, and I have effectively nothing to say about it at all. It's bland hard-tack. Without save states and the frankly wonderful guide on GameFAQS (huge, enormous shoutouts to that guy, holy smokes) I wouldn't have gotten anywhere at all
I wish I had something more insightful or interesting to say except to say that it feels impossible that the Linda^3 people didn't play this, because those monsters are straight up Linda^3 monsters
