Death Bringer

Death Bringer is a video game in the role-playing (rpg) genre developed by Renovation Game and published by Telenet Japan Co., Ltd. originally released in 1989. It is currently playable on Sharp X68000, TurboGrafx CD.

A powerful wizard, yearning for even more power, has found a sacred book that grants him command over armies of demons and men. Possessed by the desire to conquer and destroy, he orders his armies to set fire to cities, massacring the citizens. But a nameless hero, the protagonist of this game, has to face evil. Leaving Soron, his hometown, the hero embarks on a journey to find companions and face the forces of darkness together.

Despite being a Japanese game, Death Bringer more closely resembles Western RPGs of the era than its Japanese counterparts, although it has anime-style character graphics. It is less event-oriented than the Japanese games and focuses on exploration. The gameplay is somewhat similar to the Pandora RPG of the same name, although the two games are unrelated. Both friendly and hostile areas are pseudo-3D, maze-like environments, as in the Bard's Tale games. Enemy encounters, however, are handled more similarly to those in Ultima: enemies appear on the exploration screen, and battle is initiated only if the player character approaches the enemy. Battles take place on a top-down field; heroes and enemies move, but the player cannot move characters manually: it is only possible to issue commands such as 'Attack', 'Use magic', etc. The game has a day-night cycle. You have to search for party members (up to three, excluding the hero) in various cities, instead of joining the hero for plot reasons.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
