Daria Reviews Sugoro Quest [NES] - Roll the Dice and Fight the Cute Things
302In 1991 Technos Japan (Rivercity Ransom) unleashed an adorable dice-based JRPG for the Nintendo Famicom, and although never officially released outside of Japan, Sugoro Quest – Dice no Senshi Tachi is fully playable in English thanks to the support of fan translator AlanMidas.
When reduced to the bare essentials, Sugoro Quest plays much like other turn-based RPGs: a lone adventurer traipses across the Kingdom of Siland battling diabolical evil and performing menial tasks for the local layabouts. But this isn’t your typical Japanese Role-playing Game, the adventure plays out on in a virtual board game and war is waged as opponents fling six-sided dice at one another. Despite its incredibly cute presentation (many of the stage bosses are little girls cosplaying as not-so-fearsome monsters) Sugoro Quest is not an easy game; the player’s success often hinges on the luck of a die roll – but unlike party games (such as Dokapon Kingdom) this is a true RPG, which means that stat gains and equipment upgrades greatly improve the likelihood of success.
Gameplay: The player chooses one of four available adventurers and a board of increasing difficulty (six stages in total). The adventurer travels around the game board according to a dice roll and lands on squares of various effects. They will fight RPG combat battles, heal HP and MP, land on damage dealing traps, find treasure, buff equipment, and talk to NPCs. Each stage has a boss which much be defeated for a stage win. Equipment and items can be purchased at Siland castle in between stages.
