Ayakashi no Shiro (あやかしの城; lit. 'Castle of Ayakashi') is a 1990 role-playing video game for the Game Boy manufactured by SETA Corporation.[1] It was never published outside Japan.[2]

Gameplay

Ayakashi no Shiro is a turn-based dungeon crawler. Players move the protagonist through first-person dungeons where randomly occurring battles happen. When combat begins, the player is given several options through a menu system to fight the enemies.

Release and reception

Ayakashi no Shiro was released in Japan for the Game Boy on May 25, 1990.[3]

Four reviewers for the Japanese gaming publication Famicom Tsūshin reviewed the game in 1990.[1][3] While on reviewer said the game initially started easy and user-friendly, towards the middle the battles became just an excuse to level up the player which grew tedious. Another reviewer found there was a lack of variety in the enemies fought which led to them growing monotonous.[3]

Two reviewers felt the game lacked the depth of similar role-playing video games like Wizardry (1987) for the Family Computer.[3]
