SD Gundam Gaiden Knight Gundam Story 3 Legendary Knights is a super-deformed Gundam fantasy turn-based RPG published by Bandai exclusively for the Famicom. Knight Gundam and allies assemble a knightly party to confront the resurgent dark forces threatening the fantasy realm. Overworld exploration and grid turn-based tactical battles form the heroic quest loop.
Castle towns, mist-shrouded forests and demon dungeons populate the world map. Random encounters trigger tactical combat. Victories grant experience to level up and funds for weapons, armour and healing supplies.
Powerful dark lord lieutenants guard the deepest demonic territories. Hidden treasure caves contain rare enchanted knight equipment for thorough explorers.
Bandai’s cute SD mecha tile graphics and heroic marching soundtrack maintain lighthearted Gundam fantasy atmosphere.
Strategically, consistent victory requires building a balanced party of warriors, archers and spellcasters. Overreliance on one knight creates severe vulnerabilities against mixed enemy formations.
For contemporary Famicom retro SD Gundam fantasy RPG collectors, this third entry concludes the original Knight Gundam story arc.
