Chest of Obscurity #4: Fuzzical Fighter
Well Happy 2016 everyone! How about we fire things off with a very obscure game that only a few know of hm? This weirdness of a hybrid is Fuzzical Fighter (or as I like to call it: Fantasy Zone the Shooter RPG) and as you can see, the ship looks like Opa-Opa from said game. I somewhat found it originally on an emulator that I used to play on my Dreamcast. It's somewhat a good concept except for the fact that the game feels like Dragon Quest/Warrior and just like in that, you lose half your money if you get shot down. You can upgrade but to lose that much and to farm enough gold just to do that falls short for a shmup RPG. But it is obscure and thus, worth the feature.
Game developed by Sigma Enterprises of 1991. Translation done by Wakdhacks.
