Madou Monogatari I: Honoo no Sotsuenji

13.12.1996
Sorcery Kindergarten has very strict requirements for graduation. Indeed, this year, only one person even qualified to take the final exam at all: six-year-old Arle Nadja, who now faces the daunting task of climbing the monster-infested Magic Tower and retrieving the three Magic Orbs hidden within in order to graduate. What trials await Arle inside the Tower? Can she pass the test, or will she be doomed to another year of kindergarten? Madou Monogatari I: Honoo no Sotsuenji (Sorcery Saga I: The Fiery Kindergarten Graduation) is a 1996 dungeon crawler for the PC-Engine Super CD-ROM² system. It's a remake of the first game in the Madou Monogatari series, originally developed by Compile for the MSX2 computer and subsequently ported to several other platforms. The various ports differ wildly from each other, sometimes to the point of being almost completely different games; though the PC-Engine version is based on the original home computer editions, it adds high-quality cutscenes, CD audio, near-full voice acting, and many extra events, monsters, and items.

Madou Monogatari 1-2-3 consists of three separate adventures, all of which star young magician Arle Nadja. Billed as a "Magical Voice Role Playing Game", Madou Monogatari 1-2-3 combines diverse, colorful monster design with a then-unusual amount of voice work. The game is also notable for a near-complete lack of numerical stats, instead portraying health, damage, and magic capacity using text cues and Arle's face portrait.

Madou Monogatari is a first-person dungeon-crawler developed by AIKY that released on December 14, 2005 for DoCoMo's i-mode branded mobile phones and was available through G-mode's R.P.G-mode service, which required a monthly fee of 300 yen to access various RPG games. It is the last Madou Monogatari entry to feature the original cast of characters created by Compile. The game was only available to download for six months before being delisted sometime in June 2006, and as of November 30, 2021, the game can no longer be launched due to G-mode's service through i-mode being discontinued. Unlike Madou Monogatari (Saturn), Madou Monogatari returns to the classic first-person dungeon crawling style. A new spell, Stone, is introduced that attacks enemies with falling stones, and after clearing the game you'll be presented with a report card that changes depending on the amount of steps Arle takes, the amount of damage done to enemies, and the number of times that curry is eaten.

Ys: Wanderers from Ys breaks away from the "bumping into enemies" battle system of the first two games, allowing Adol to control his sword in a variety of directions. Beside changing the battle system, the game's perspective switches to a side-scrolling view, as opposed to the top-down one of the previous games. Adol also has the ability to jump now. New to the series is the use of magical rings, which give Adol different powering-up abilities such as healing and shielding. The game also uses various key items found along the way to solve minor puzzles and progress the story.
