Haja no Fuuin (Japan)

Haja no Fuuin is a tactical role-playing game (SRPG) developed by Koei for the NES. Players control a party of heroic characters, each possessing unique skills and stats. The game unfolds on a large world map, where players navigate between towns, villages, and dungeons for exploration and questing.

Upon encountering enemies, the game transitions to a turn-based battle screen. Combat takes place on a grid-based map, requiring players to strategically move their units, attack enemies, and wisely use spells or items. Each character has action points (AP) per turn, which dictate their movement and action capabilities. Battles in Haja no Fuuin demand that players think carefully about positioning and attack types to optimize damage output and minimize risk to their party.

Between battles, players can equip new weapons and armor, learn new spells, and manage items for their characters. The storyline revolves around the unsealing of an evil force threatening the world, and the heroes' quest to stop it. The game also features exploration elements, with players engaging in dialogue with NPCs to gather information and receive quests. The graphics and sound are characteristic of the NES era, providing a nostalgic experience for fans of the genre.
