Item Description

The game asks one question before it hands you a sword: are you the Brain Lord? Enix meant it. Brain Lord is a 1994 Super Nintendo action RPG that puts its puzzles ahead of its fights, and its dungeons are built like locked boxes, full of switches, movable blocks, traps and rooms that only make sense once you stop swinging and start thinking.

You play as Remeer, the last of a line of Dragon Warriors, a bloodline from an age when dragons and men rode the skies together. His father spent his life searching for the Ancient Dragons and never found them, and Remeer takes up that search with a dark presence waiting somewhere at the end of it. The story is lean by RPG standards, which is part of the point. The real narrative is the descent through each dungeon and the satisfaction of cracking the room in front of you.

Combat happens in real time from an overhead view, with a range of weapons that handle differently and reward switching to suit the situation. The game's most distinctive feature is its jades, small magical companions Remeer collects on his journey that hover beside him and join the fight, giving the adventure a layer of party-building unusual for a solo action RPG of its time. Still, the puzzles are where Brain Lord earns its name. Rooms ask you to read the layout, notice the odd tile or the out-of-place block, and work out a sequence before you act, and the traps punish anyone who charges ahead without looking.

It came from Produce!, the studio behind The 7th Saga, and it has built a cult following among players who discovered it long after release. If the dungeons were your favorite part of A Link to the Past, or the puzzle rooms of Lufia II stuck with you, Brain Lord offers an entire adventure built around that feeling, and it rewards every player willing to dig past the famous names in the Super Nintendo's Enix lineup.
