About this game

Long time ago, the Black Dragon was destroying human cities and devouring human beings.

A sword imbued with magical powers was made in order to destroy the dragon.

It was known as the Blade of Darkness.

The dragon was defeated, and the sword disappeared after the battle.

Now, unholy people attempt the resurrection of the Black Dragon.

Shinobu Ryudo, a young girl from the Dark-Haired tribe, begins a long and perilous journey across the main continent to find the sword and prevent the dragon's resurrection.

Meanwhile, the warrior Kayes is instructed by the oracle to look for the sword as well.

Will the heroes join forces to defeat the evil?..

Kuro no Ken is a rather standard Japanese-style RPG with all the familiar ingredients: top-down locations, navigation on the world map, random enemies, turn-based combat, automatic leveling up, etc.

The battles are viewed from a third-person perspective, using much larger character sprites than during exploration.

Shinobu and Kayes can use physical attacks or magic spells (learned automatically when leveling up), which deplete MP.

About PlayStation

The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.

Gamevaro tracks Kuro no Ken for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Kuro no Ken to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1995.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Kuro no Ken, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
