Little Master - Raikuban no Densetsu

Little Master: Raikuban no Densetsu is the first game in the Little Master series, a Strategy RPG on the Game Boy. Players play as Prince Liam, who must rescue the kidnapped Princess Rain from the demon army led by Gezagain. Gameplay involves recruiting a mix of human heroes and quirky animals (mice, sheep, wyverns, dragons, etc.) with a 'unity' system to combine troops for stronger units. Battles are grid-based with turn-based physical attacks only, random critical hits or deadly blows, and simple stats (HP/Attack/Defense). The light-hearted, cutesy art style makes it accessible for all ages. Characters like the minotaur Momo and animal warriors stand out with their adorable designs and unique abilities; what makes it stand out is its friendly tone, animal recruitment focus, and objective-driven gameplay with just enough luck to keep things fun and replayable.
