Madou Monogatari (Sorcery Saga) — hidden gem? We say YES!
An overhead isometric, gorgeously hand-drawn RPG whose visuals astound whether in-town, in the overworld, in dungeons, and especially in combat. The turn-based battles are presented from a side perspective and rock colors and special effects.
Released by Compile in mid-1998, this surely would have received Western release had it not been for the Saturn’s untimely demise. Despite being a menu-heavy RPG, it isn’t too difficult to make one’s way through this one. Do it — you won’t be disappointed!
