Hundred Worlds Story: Ask Kodansha Classic Famicom Title
Hundred Worlds Story is a fantasy overhead action role-playing game published by Ask Kodansha exclusively for the Famicom. A young hero journeys across countless connected realms, accepting quests, battling monsters and gathering magical artifacts to resolve a cross-world crisis. Overworld navigation and real-time overhead combat form the multi-realm adventure loop.
Each world contains unique settlements, wilderness zones and sealed dungeon entrances. Random encounters trigger real-time combat against varied monster types. Victories grant experience to level up and gold for equipment and healing items.
Powerful realm guardian bosses block travel to adjacent worlds. Hidden forest paths contain rare relics for thorough explorers.
Ask Kodansha’s colourful multi-biome fantasy tile graphics and melodic wandering-adventure soundtrack maintain lighthearted cross-world fantasy atmosphere.
Strategically, consistent inter-realm quest success requires stocking healing supplies before venturing into unknown territory. Underequipped expeditions face brutal odds against realm guardians.
For contemporary Famicom retro multi-world fantasy RPG collectors, Hundred Worlds Story is a lesser-known domestic adventure curio.
