Item Description
Faria starts like a hundred other 8-bit quests: a wizard has kidnapped the princess, and the king offers her hand to whoever brings her home. Then it starts breaking the rules. The hero who answers the call is a woman, a soldier from a foreign land, and when she succeeds the dismayed king throws a party instead of a wedding. The food is poisoned, the king is turned to stone, and before long the princess you rescued turns out to be the wizard himself in disguise.
This was an early role-playing game from Game Arts, the studio that went on to create Lunar and Grandia, released in Japan in 1989 and brought to North America by Nexoft in 1991. It plays as an action RPG with a strong Legend of Zelda flavor. You gather clues and gear from the people in each town, cross an overworld where encounters drop you onto a separate battle screen, and push into towers and dungeons where combat and maze-solving share one window. Fights are real-time: you move around the screen swinging your sword and reaching for bombs and a bow when the sword is not enough. Experience levels, hit points, items and upgrades build up as you go, and the cartridge saves your progress to three files rather than relying on passwords.
The dungeons grow into properly tricky mazes, and the challenge has a reputation; GamePro rated its challenge a full five out of five. The plot keeps twisting as well, through the Crystal of Truth, the Phantom Tower and a final confrontation with a wizard whose spirit refuses to stay put, and its last revelation about the hero is one of the boldest turns of any NES story. Discovering it for yourself is half the fun.
Faria never had the marketing push of the big-name RPGs, which is exactly why it has become a cult discovery for NES fans who think they have played everything. It offers a hard, rewarding action RPG from the studio behind Lunar, a rare female lead for its era, and a story that was quietly decades ahead of its moment.
