If anyone has played the Dragon Quest NES titles, then you will feel at home. That’s too bad because the first Lufia would’ve helped the Genesis’ starvation for JRPGs on an action and sports genre dominated console. In fact, Taito even had a Genesis port in mind before they eventually cancelled it. The game still manages to have a niche of fans who love RPGs such as myself. Lufia failed to receive the same success as a game called Secret of Mana for Super NES as Square’s latest title overshadow it.
However, even though Final Fantasy VI and Breath of Fire weren't going be available until 1994. The game would take everything an RPG experience had from other series from the level design and the gameplay. Taito would be the second to step in and create their own role playing game called Lufia and The Fortress of Doom in 1993. After the series' success, many third parties like Capcom, Altus and Taito wanted to take advantage of the RPG popularity. In the early 90's Final Fantasy became an initial success in the United States with five console releases and three on Game Boy. Welcome to this edition of Retro Corner Reviews and we take a look at Taito's first attempt at the role playing genre.
