Description official description

In Miracle Warriors: Seal of the Dark Lord, you have been asked to recover the Golden Seal which is being guarded by the Dark Lord Terarin. You start your quest by yourself, but you must find three other companions who will join you to defeat Terarin. You also must venture through five lands. You will find villages, towns and castles in your travels in these lands. In each, you will find or be able to buy weapons and armor (both for you and your companions), medicine and clues. You will also find caves, dungeons, and monuments that are scattered. Some you may enter unhindered. Others will be locked until you find the right person or learn the right spell.

Also within each land, you will encounter monsters such as evil merchants, Weasly wimps, Unmutaks, Great Lions, Gelfises, Zirods, and many more. Some of these monsters do less damage than others, and take more damage themselves. You can either attack them yourself using your weapons or spells, or make your companions attack the monsters themselves. When defeated, most monsters will either leave behind some coins, which you can spend to buy stuff at the towns, or some items, which you can also use to defeat monsters.

However, not all inhabitants are monsters. You will also meet merchants and travelers who might tell you where to go and what to do.

Classic multi-character 8 bit RPG

The Good
For a mediocre game it still has a good story line. It is a good game to play or replay if you want to experience mid 80's RPG's. And you gotta love a game where the evil dark lord Terarin turns out to be a naked well-endowed demon woman just like it shows in the manual. I wonder how that got past the censors.

The Bad
The game style was dated by the time it came out. There was a shift towards action style RPG's and to more graphic details in other games so this one looked old. Most people would have been saving up the $80 at the time to buy Phantasy Star instead. If it would have come out a year earlier it would have been great.

The Bottom Line
This is your standard multi-character quest based limited graphics 1985 RPG. Most of the screen is a flat graphic window showing the landscape that switches to show who you are having an encounter with. There is a top down map to show your location outside and also inside dungeons.

Trivia

Cover differences

In the Japanese version's cover, a nude female creature can be seen. For obvious reasons, this creature is changed with a less-nude and armor-clad female monster in US and Europe version covers.
