This is ''Lufia & The Fortress of Doom'' or ''Estpolis Denki'' (''Biography of Estpolis'') for the UsefulNotes/{{SNES}}. Published by Creator/{{Taito}} before it closed its doors in America and developed by Neverland, ''Lufia'' is a rather simple turn-based {{JRPG}}. The first in the ''{{VideoGame/Lufia}}'' series, it would introduce the series setting, the Sinistrals, and the Dual Blade. Gameplay-wise, it was your typical JRPG. You had a party of four characters with preset roles. Some such as Lufia could use magic while others bashed baddies on the head with large and deadly weapons like swords and axes.
