Drakkhen - SFC Super Famicom (Japan)

For sale is the groundbreaking early-era action RPG Drakkhen (ドラッケン) by Infogrames and Kemco in the original Japanese version for the Nintendo Super Famicom – complete in the set (CIB) including original packaging (OVP), plastic insert, game manual, and Nintendo safety notice!

📜 Story & Setting:

The world of humans stands on the brink as magic begins to fade. The cause lies on a mysterious island inhabited by eight powerful Dragon Lords. A group of four heroes (Warrior, Scout, Priest, and Mage) sets out to collect the eight Dragon Tears, restore the balance of power, and prevent the downfall of their homeland.

🎮 Gameplay & Features:

• Early 3D Pioneer Work: Drakkhen was one of the very first SNES games to offer a freely explorable, isometric/pseudo-3D overworld with day and night cycles – technically absolutely impressive for its 1991 release year!

• Real-Time Battles & Castles: Explore the overworld in 3D and switch to a detailed 2D perspective with puzzles, trap elements, and battles when entering castles and dungeons.

• Four-Person Party: Control and equip four individual hero classes simultaneously, dynamically defending against lurking monsters and gigantic dragons.

🌟 Development & Trivia:

• French RPG Art: Originally developed by the French studio Infogrames for home computers (Amiga, Atari ST), Kemco and Kotobuki System brought the game very early in the Super Famicom lifecycle in May 1991.

• Cult Classic: Due to its unique dark Western fantasy atmosphere, distinctive sound design, and sudden day-night enemy spawns, Drakkhen still holds a loyal cult status among retro fans today.
