Gekirin: Ushinawareshi Hōken

## Description

_Gekirin_ is a self-described “RPG without a story”. The player takes the
role of a nameless male adventurer in an abstract medieval town, equipped with
basic weapons and armor. The bulk of the game takes place in a gigantic multi-
story overhead randomly generated dungeon. The protagonist explores the
dungeon in search of a precious sword, descending deeper and deeper, looting
treasure chests, and fighting respawning enemies in action-oriented combat,
which grants him experience points.

Ranged and melee weapons are available, as well as attack items (bombs etc.)
and special items (such as keys that unlock new areas). Equipment and items
can be bought in the town’s stores. The hero’s weapons and armor rapidly
deteriorate and must be repaired or exchanged for new ones when their rating
reaches zero. It is also possible to attack walls, carving alternate pathways
through the dungeon. When the protagonist dies he is teleported back to the
town and the player can attempt to tackle the dungeon again.
