Faxanadu Famicom review
8/10
A hero explores a dark world, buys equipment and battles monsters in a moody action RPG.
Faxanadu mixes action and role-playing. You explore towns and dungeons, buy equipment and battle monsters, while managing gold and health carefully.
The atmosphere is dark and the world feels large. It is a strong early example of the action RPG on the console.
Pros
- Moody atmosphere
- Good mix of action and RPG
- Large world
Cons
- Can be confusing
- Harsh difficulty
