Radiant War Chronicles

ラディア戦記 — 黎明篇 — is an action RPG for the NES/Famicom. Gameplay combines real-time overhead exploration with turn-based battles where up to five party members can be controlled. Players direct the hero in combat using attacks, spells, and commands like 'act dead' to evade enemies. The story follows the unnamed hero saved by a mage after a plane crash, who joins the party to stop the villain Gadiss and his half-sister Princess Lefis from seizing the Radia Tower that controls the world. Characters include the hero (customizable name), Darus the mage, and others. It stands out for its early real-time battle system similar to Zelda, voice acting, and detailed party commands.
