Kaijuu Monogatari (Japan) (Namcot Collection)

Kaijuu Monogatari is a classic role-playing game (RPG) on the NES system, immersing players in a fantasy world teeming with monsters (Kaijuu). The main storyline revolves around the protagonist's adventure to stop an evil force threatening world peace. A distinctive feature of the game is the player's ability to capture, train, and evolve various types of monsters to become companions in battles.

The gameplay of Kaijuu Monogatari follows a traditional RPG model. Players will navigate a vast world map, exploring towns, dungeons, forests, and many other locations. During exploration, you will encounter non-player characters (NPCs) to receive quests, gather information, and purchase equipment. Random encounters with monsters are an integral part, leading to turn-based battles.

The combat system in Kaijuu Monogatari is turn-based. Players control the protagonist along with their captured Kaijuu. Each Kaijuu has unique stats, skills, and attributes. In each turn, you will choose actions for each character, including attacking, using special skills, using items, or fleeing. Winning battles grants experience points, helping the character and Kaijuu level up, thereby increasing their strength and unlocking new abilities. Additionally, after battles, players can earn in-game currency to purchase healing items, upgrade equipment, or other support items.

Monster capturing is a crucial element in Kaijuu Monogatari. Players can use special items to attempt to catch wild Kaijuu after weakening them in battle. With a diverse and well-trained team of Kaijuu, players can overcome challenging obstacles, face powerful bosses, and ultimately fulfill their noble quest.
