Famicom Jump - Eiyuu Retsuden (Japan)

Famicom Jump - Eiyuu Retsuden is a unique role-playing game (RPG) on the Famicom system, notable for bringing together a massive cast of characters from popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga series. Players take on the role of a self-created protagonist, who is summoned to the Jump world to unite with legendary heroes against an evil force threatening the universe.

The gameplay of Famicom Jump - Eiyuu Retsuden combines extensive world map exploration with a traditional turn-based combat system. Players will navigate a vast overworld map, encountering and recruiting iconic characters such as Son Goku from Dragon Ball, Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star, Ryo Saeba from City Hunter, Arale from Dr. Slump, and many others. Each character possesses unique stats, skills, and attacks that faithfully reflect their original manga counterparts.

Upon encountering enemies, the game transitions to a battle screen. This is a turn-based combat system where players select actions for each member of their party, including physical attacks, using special abilities (e.g., Goku's Kamehameha), or utilizing items. Strategic choices and character synergy are key to overcoming challenging battles. Players can also enhance their characters' power by leveling up, learning new techniques, and equipping better items.

Beyond combat, adventure and interaction elements are also crucial. Players will visit towns, converse with NPCs to gather information, receive quests, and buy/sell items. The storyline unfolds through dialogues, often featuring humorous or dramatic situations characteristic of Shonen Jump. The ultimate goal is to gather enough heroic power to confront the main antagonist and rescue the Jump world from destruction.
