An obscure dungeon crawling RPG by Nihon Falcom. The game was released in 1991 on the PC98 and FM Towns and later ported to the SNES and PC Engine. The story follows a wandering swordsman named Ares Toraernos, who is pursued by his nemesis Dela Delon, who has accused him of murdering her teacher. The two fall down into the sunken ruins of an abandoned kingdom and you must navigate Ares out of the game’s stages. Brandish was successful enough in Japan to get 3 sequels and a PSP remake.
