Faria Fūin no Tsurugi: High Score Media Works Classic Famicom Title
Faria Sword of the Seal is a fantasy action role-playing game published by High Score Media Works exclusively for the Famicom. The knight Faria embarks on a quest to lift a curse plaguing the realm, exploring villages, grassland wilderness and multi-floor demon dungeons. Real-time overhead combat, equipment switching and quest-driven progression define the adventure.
The interconnected world spans peaceful hamlets and monster-infested regions. Random encounters trigger real-time combat against roaming fiends. Victories grant experience to level up and gold currency to purchase arms, armour and healing potions. Villages function as safe supply hubs.
Powerful demonic bosses guard sealing artefacts required to confront the source of the kingdom’s corruption. Hidden dungeon side chambers contain rare permanent stat upgrades.
High Score Media Works’s moody medieval fantasy tile graphics and sombre epic looping background music shift tone between quiet village visits and tense underground dungeon exploration.
Strategically, successful curse lifting requires balanced levelling and equipment upgrades before venturing deep into high-threat zones. Underequipped expeditions lead to repeated punishing combat defeats against powerful overlords.
For contemporary Famicom retro obscure fantasy action RPG collectors, Faria is a scarce domestic curio offering classic sword-and-sorcery adventure gameplay.
