Tengai Makyou: Fuun Kabuki-den 1993

Is it still worth playing?

A role playing game from Red Company, published by Hudson Soft for the PC Engine Super CD-ROM² in 1992, the third in the Tengai Makyō series and never released outside Japan. You play Kabuki Danjūrō, a flamboyant and comic kabuki performer. When women are kidnapped, he sets out to rescue them and finds that the Daimon Cult has risen again. Your party includes Zeami, whose masks give different powers, Okuni, and the sumo wrestler Push Fujiyama. You cross an overworld, visit towns and dungeons and fight in turn based battles, now seen from the side, and magic is found instead of learned. It is the first game where the characters leave Jipang, for England, and some bosses sing silly songs. A comic hero and bosses who sing still give the series a lighter side.
