Phantasy Star

Role-Playing

Phantasy Star was one of the pioneers of the traditional console RPG format, featuring fully traversable overworld maps, complete with interactive towns, and sprawling dungeons. The player engages in random enemy encounters, both on the overworld map and in dungeons, which saw a change from the top-down perspective to a first-person view. (Wikipedia)

Heliophage

Rated 22 Mar 2020

A fairly typical Dragon Quest/Ultima style RPG for the most part, though perhaps the best-looking of the SMS/NES crop, with colorful, detailed graphics and smoothly animated first person dungeons. That, plus its relatively early localization helped it stand out in a Western console market less saturated by the genre than Japan (though the steep price and being on the Master System may have held it back somewhat). An extra-generous save system for the time helps speed things along.
