Mado Monogatari (魔導物語 Madō Monogatari, lit. Story of Sorcery) is a series of first-person dungeon crawler RPGs by Compile. The first game, Madou Monogatari 1-2-3, was released in 1990 for the MSX2. Sega published the Game Gear remakes based on 1-2-3. The characters of this series would later be used in the puzzle game Puyo Puyo.
Gameplay[]
Gameplay combines traditional RPG with some unique twists. For example, there are no numeric stats; instead, everything is represented by character facial expressions and sprites. Another is the complete lack of physical attacks. Everything utilizes one of four magical elements: Fire, Ice Storm, Thunder, and Bayoen. Some enemies are weaker against one particular magic attack than another.
