Elona -PC

02/09/2016

A fairly old nostalgia inducing game in the genre of Rogue-Like Turn based RPG. It has graphics similar to something you might see on SNES.
With the addition of an online element. (In the jap editions)

You will start out waking up in a cave with two people explaining to you the basics, after this noobie quest, you become the owner of said cave, with a nearby town.

Strangely addicting, and with a very random atmosphere, making difficulty more a thing of pure luck than anything else.
The quest system seems a bit deviated from the norm, you can pick up just about as many side-quests as you like from the notice board, albeit many are timed.

Several starter races (more mod and dev races can be enabled From Humanoid to demi-gods and even as a dragon), several starting class paths (Wizards, fighters, pianists and tourist to name a few), and dozens of skill sets, not to mentions spells.

One of the absolute hardest games to play as a mage with the randomness factor as well as limitations with spell casting..

Has a built in wizard mode for debugging/cheating. Though CE works for some things.
Not to be entirely confused with Elona-Shooter, as it's the PC game, which is the fore-runner of Elona-Shooter.

The official wiki explains toggleable wizard mode with offsets.
I would say This is a fairly good game to learn how to manipulate 4b data in general for basic purposes.
