Guardian’s Crusade is a classic role-playing game developed by Tamsoft and released for the PlayStation in 1999. In this charming turn-based RPG, you step into the shoes of a young adventurer named Knight, tasked with safely delivering a mysterious, shape-shifting pink creature named Baby to God’s Tower. Known for its seamless 3D overworld that eliminates loading screens between the map and towns, the game offers a bright and lighthearted adventure that stands out from the darker RPGs of its era.
How to Play
Your objective is to explore the world, fight monsters in turn-based combat, and collect “Living Toys”โmagical wind-up companions that can be summoned in battle to heal your party or attack enemies. Since this is a PlayStation title, use your keyboard’s Arrow Keys to navigate the world. The PlayStation’s X button (action/confirm) is typically mapped to the X key on your keyboard, while Circle (cancel/run) is mapped to Z. Press Enter for Start and Shift for Select to access your menus and manage your Living Toys.
Tips
- Feed Baby Regularly: Baby acts on its own during combat. Feeding it different snacks and keeping its mood high determines its behavior and which powerful transformations it will use to help you in battle.
- Hunt for Living Toys: Search everywhere for these wind-up toys. Some are hidden in chests, while others are given by NPCs. Since Knight fights mostly alone alongside Baby, these toys serve as your essential spells and summons.
