Third Torneko roguelike entry, a more modest Dragon Quest spin-off. Mystery dungeons and classic roguelike gameplay are present. Less accomplished than the main series games and inaccessible without Japanese. For dedicated genre fans.

Description
A Japanese roguelike released in 2002 by Chunsoft, the third adventure of Torneko the merchant from Dragon Quest IV. The studio's "Mystery Dungeon" formula is here at its most fleshed-out: trading, a personal tower to rebuild and increasingly deep dungeons. Remained Japan-only.

A pillar of the Japanese roguelike, Torneko's third adventure forgives neither haste nor recklessness: every descent is reshuffled, and death loses you everything. Reading the floors, rationing items and choosing your fights form the heart of a tense progression. Spare yet crystal-clear in its logic, it wins over genre regulars with its tactical depth.
