Item Description

Most role-playing games save the showdown with the ultimate evil for the final hour. Lufia and the Fortress of Doom opens with it. Before you ever meet the game's real hero, you take control of four legendary warriors, Maxim, Selan, Guy and Artea, as they storm the floating island of the Sinistrals, four masters of Doom bent on ruling the world. It is a bold, high-stakes prologue that hands you powerful characters right away, and the way it ends hangs over everything that follows.

A hundred years later, the story picks up with a young descendant of Maxim and his childhood friend Lufia, just as the Sinistrals begin to stir again. From there the game settles into a classic 16-bit adventure in the Dragon Quest mold: turn-based battles, towns full of chatter, dungeons to work through, and a world that keeps opening up once you have a ship to cross the sea. Aguro, a soldier, and Jerin, a half-elf, round out the party, and the journey covers a lot of ground. The pacing is old-school, with frequent random battles and some leveling between story beats, so it suits players who enjoy settling into a long, traditional quest.

Developed by Neverland and published by Taito, this is where the Lufia series began. Its sequel, Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals, went back in time to tell Maxim's own story and ends right where this game's prologue begins, so the two cartridges fit together into one larger saga. Many players met the series through Lufia II and only later came back to see how the legend started, and experiencing those events from both sides is a big part of the appeal.

What lingers is the story at its center. The bond between the hero and Lufia, and the question of who she really is, builds toward a finale the game's own description calls a contest of love and betrayal, and it lands with more emotional weight than its modest presentation suggests. On the Super Nintendo it was made for, this is the opening chapter of the Sinistral saga, played the way early-'90s RPG fans first met it.
