A downloadable game for Windows

This is a 7DRL 2024 entry that aims to capture the tactical feel of old-school JRPG dungeon crawls. More specifically, and as the name implies, this is a love letter to the fantastic dungeons of the original Master System Phantasy Star.

Recruit a party of up to four characters, choosing from a variety of race and class options, and make your way through twenty procedurally generated first person dungeons. Explore as much as you can to find powerful equipment that will aid you in your quest to destroy Dark Falz once and for all!

Controls:

Z - Confirm

X -Back/Decline

Spacebar- Command Menu

Left and Right Arrow Keys turn your character 90 degrees

Up and Down Arrow Keys move the character forwards and backwards

(This can all be configured in the start menu)

A few things of note:

PSRL saves the game state after every action. You can exit at any time and the current state of your run should be preserved, though it is recommended you quit out of the game manually through the command menu. This also means if a bug or crash occurs, you should be able to pick up were you left off. 

If one of your party members dies, you can always head back up to town and recruit a replacement. Think carefully about your actions, the quest to destroy Dark Falz will be a long one.


This project is dedicated to Rieko Kodama

If you want players to use non-standard keys to play your game, at least display them on the tittle screen. It's not normal when you press Enter in a menu and nothing happens.

But during character creation, suddenly it's no longer W and X (that's another thing: millions of people do not use a QWERTY keyboard)!
