Description
Japanese Neorude RPG with medieval fantasy exploration. Published by ASCII Entertainment, released in Japan in 1997. Over fifty recruitable heroes, turn-based battles on 2D maps, over a hundred spells and skills, multiple chapters and original anime fantasy style illustrations.
Neorude, a Japanese RPG bundled with its Special Disc, a modest JRPG released at a time saturated with the genre on the console. Left without Western distribution, it interests fans of little-known Japanese RPGs seeking to complete the machine's catalogue. Its appeal lies in this edition-specific companion disc and the obscurity of a title rarely encountered outside Japan.
