Kenshin Dragon Quest: Yomigaerishi Densetsu no Ken (edit)
Revision as of 01:29, 22 August 2022
, 01:29, 22 August 2022We don't need to expound upon how each character's name has historically been localized or use their Japanese names on the pages for unlocalized appearances of theirs. It's better to use the official English names for immediate clarity to an English-speaking reader and include translations and regional name information in each individual's character page for those curious.

In order to play, the player uses a toy sword as their game controller to walk (by pointing forward), to fight off monsters, defend with your shield, cast spells, and for every other input needed by the system. Slashing the sword in different directions (horizontal, diagonal, vertical) by the player will cause different effects and damage to enemies encountered in the game world. The game's ROM is located on an item that resembles a shield. To save a game in process, the person must use a memory card that looks like a book, which is inserted into the shield. | In order to play, the player uses a toy sword as their game controller to walk (by pointing forward), to fight off monsters, defend with your shield, cast spells, and for every other input needed by the system.

At the end of each chapter, the player encounters a boss monster. As the player builds up successful attacks and blocks with their shield, they build up a super meter. When this is completed, the player is enabled to unleash a powerful attack. | ||
