Item Description
Most NES heroes go it alone. Legacy of the Wizard sends an entire household into the dark. Long ago a wizard ancestor of the family sealed the dragon Keela inside a painting, and the only weapon that can destroy it for good, the Dragon Slayer sword, lies somewhere in the vast labyrinth beneath the family home. Reaching it takes every member of the house.
That is the brilliant twist at the heart of Nihon Falcom's design. Each relative plays differently and opens different parts of the maze. Xemn, the father, hits hardest. Meyna, the mother, is the family's strongest magic user. Lyll, the daughter, jumps highest and alone can break blocks with the mattock. Pochi, the family's pet monster, cannot be harmed by the dungeon's monsters. And Roas, the son, is the one who can use the four boss-guarded crowns to find the Dragon Slayer and wield it. You choose who descends, gather the gear that character needs, and come back up to the house to switch, where Grandmother hands out the passwords that save your progress.
Released in Japan as Dragon Slayer IV: Drasle Family and brought to North America by Broderbund in 1989, it was an early example of an open, non-linear action RPG on a console, a sprawling interconnected world of ladders, shafts and hidden routes that anticipates what players would later call Metroidvania design. It is famously cryptic and rewards patience, a pencil and a hand-drawn map. The soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro and Mieko Ishikawa is a standout score on the system, and the main dungeon theme alone is worth the descent.
Falcom would become famous for Ys and The Legend of Heroes, but this is the studio in its experimental early form, and the NES cartridge was the only way English-speaking players could experience the Drasle family's adventure at the time. Players raised on Zelda II and Metroid will find a deep cut that refuses to hold your hand and pays off every hour you put into mapping it.
