🎀 Fray CD: Xak Gaiden (TurboGrafx-CD) – Lighthearted Action in a Dark Fantasy World! ✨ 🧙♀️
Today we’re diving into a charming side story in the Xak universe with In Magical Adventure: Fray CD - Xak Gaiden, an action-packed, anime-inspired adventure on the TurboGrafx-CD. Released in Japan in 1994, this side-scrolling action RPG puts you in the shoes of Fray Jerbain, a young apprentice sorceress who’s short on experience but big on heart — and firepower.
Spinning off from the more serious Xak series, Fray CD delivers a lighter, comedic take on the fantasy world, packed with personality, vibrant visuals, and voice-acted cutscenes that show off the Turbo CD’s capabilities. The gameplay blends fast-paced magic combat with RPG elements and platforming, all wrapped in a colorful, expressive anime aesthetic.
🧝♀️ Why Fray CD is a hidden gem:
Cute, fast-paced action RPG gameplay with responsive controls
Plenty of magic types and projectile attacks to master
Anime-style cinematics and full Japanese voice acting that bring Fray to life
An upbeat, charming soundtrack that fits the adventurous tone
Great sprite work and detailed environments full of energy and whimsy
A rare blend of parody, fantasy, and heartfelt moments all in one package
While it helps to know the Xak lore, Fray CD stands on its own with a refreshing mix of humor, action, and character-driven storytelling. It’s one of those titles that showcases the lighter side of 16-bit RPGs — and makes a strong case for why the TurboGrafx-CD deserves more love.
