The Black Onyx

Description

Step into the world of The Black Onyx, a trailblazing RPG from 1984 that stormed the Japanese gaming scene. Released by Bullet-Proof Software and led by Henk Rogers, this game was one of the first successful Japanese-language RPGs, selling 150,000 copies. The Black Onyx stands as a testament to the early days of RPGs, offering players a chance to form a five-member party and venture into the labyrinthine dungeons beneath the town of Utsuro. The goal? To find the fabled Black Onyx and lift the curse that holds the town in perpetual darkness. With a combat system that eschews distance and embraces close-quarters combat, players must equip themselves with melee weapons, shields, and armor to succeed. This game was a pioneer in many ways, even featuring a town bank to protect your hard-earned gold from thieves. Immerse yourself in this classic RPG that set the stage for many games to come.
