Lunar: The Silver Star 1992

Is it still worth playing?

In this 1992 role playing game for the Sega CD, Alex, a boy from the village of Burg, dreams of becoming a hero like the Dragonmaster Dyne. He travels with his friends to gather the power to become the next Dragonmaster. The world is seen from above, and battles are seen from the side, with characters walking across a hex based field to reach their targets. Some characters act more than once in a turn, and a spell can hit every enemy in a zone. Up to five characters fight at once, and they learn spells and special attacks by gaining levels. Luna uses singing for magic, and Nall, a flying cat like creature, works as an unlimited bag of holding on the maps. It used the CD format for audio, video and voice acting. Hex based battles where characters walk to their targets and spells hit whole zones still reward positioning.
