Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon

To avoid this future, they are allowed to prove themselves in trials against 12 spirits living in different time periods of Aselia.

This sequel to Tales of Phantasia adopts a turn-based combat system, though the particulars of Narikiri Dungeon are uncommon even among Japanese RPGs.

Though you technically have full control over all of your party members — being Mel, Dio, and Kurūru - the game by default only prompts you for decisions when it comes to the turn of the character you set as the party leader.

The other two party members will automatically follow their configured strategies when their turns come up, unless you manually instruct them to do otherwise, which can be done at any time.

Your instructions are not locked in until it's actually their turn, which means you can revise your own instructions an arbitrary number of times, and only your last instruction before a turn comes up will be effective.

Outside of combat, Narikiri Dungeon's gameplay sits somewhere between a typical Japanese RPG and a Roguelike.

All dungeons in the game are procedurally generated, sparing a few puzzle floors which are handcrafted.

The floor map gets updated as you explore.

The only floor exit on a dungeon floor is the exit to the next floor (no backtracking) except for non-combat floors, which will sometimes have an exit out of the dungeon.

Although the game doesn't have permadeath, you can't save your progress in the middle of a combat floor (only suspend the game), and you must go through the dungeon until you can reach a non-com
