  • Summary: Dragon Slayer, the fifth installment in the Dragon Slayer series, continues to enjoy enduring popularity. Embark on an adventure into a world of swords, magic!

    Sorcerian is an action RPG released in Japan by Nihon Falcom in 1987. As the fifth installment in the company's Dragon Slayer    Dragon Slayer, the fifth installment in the Dragon Slayer series, continues to enjoy enduring popularity. Embark on an adventure into a world of swords, magic!

    Sorcerian is an action RPG released in Japan by Nihon Falcom in 1987.

    As the fifth installment in the company's Dragon Slayer series, players create characters from four races: Fighter, Wizard, Dwarf, and Elf, forming parties of up to four members to embark on adventures across 15 scenarios. With a wide array of weapons and 120 types of magic at their disposal, players explore diverse challenges.

    Each player character has a set lifespan, and upon reaching the end of their life, they can pass on their abilities to the next generation through succession. The game features intricate systems such as career choices outside of adventuring, where characters receive annual salaries and undergo changes in their abilities as time passes.

    Moreover, the scenarios offer a variety of challenges beyond traditional monster-slaying and dungeon exploration, providing a unique satisfaction in completing individual stories rather than pursuing a single overarching narrative.

    The seamless integration of these systems and scenarios allows players to fully immerse themselves in the world of Sorcerian, making it a deeply enjoyable experience for those who seek to delve into every aspect of the game.

    Sorcerian is a good game, albeit one very much of its era. The problem is that like all EGGCONSOLE releases, nothing has been translated in-game from the original Japanese version. Given how much text is involved with this game and how important it is to completing the game’s quests, that’s going to be a hard deal-breaker for many. If you can read Japanese, by all means – the game is enjoyable, and the quality of the wrapper here is as good as other the other releases in the EGGCONSOLE line-up. Everyone else should give this one a pass.
