Is Makai Toushi Sa-Ga still worth playing in 2026?
The Japanese version of The Final Fantasy Legend, Makai Toushi SaGa lays the foundations of the SaGa saga with a tower-climbing structure and a class system mixing humans, mutants and monsters with unusual growth rules. This customization freedom and its sheer ambition on Game Boy make it a founding RPG, surprisingly rich for the machine. The presentation and balancing bear the marks of their time. A historical landmark, fascinating for fans of retro RPGs and bold game design.
