Faria - Fuuin no Tsurugi (NES) price, value & rarity
Is Faria - Fuuin no Tsurugi still worth playing in 2026?
A Game Arts action RPG, Faria has a warrior princess explore a vast fantasy world, blending top-down sword combat, dungeons, towns and free exploration to defeat an evil wizard. The open Zelda-like structure, the quest and the heroine give real identity, in a title ambitious for the machine. The handling and presentation have aged, and the progression sometimes lacks guidance. An estimable pick for fans of overlooked NES action RPG and retro adventure to explore.
