Dragon Knight 4 is a tactical role-playing game developed by ELF and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996. Shifting away from the first-person perspective of earlier entries, this installment focuses on grid-based strategy combat where players lead Kakeru and his army of allies against enemy forces.
How to Play
Progress through the game is split between story sequences and turn-based tactical battles. During combat, players take turns moving their units across a grid, selecting attacks or using items. The default SNES controls are the D-pad to move the cursor, A to select a unit or confirm actions, B to cancel, and Start to pause or bring up the menu. In the web player, these correspond to the arrow keys, Z, X, and Enter.
Tips
Protect Kakeru during combat scenarios; as the main protagonist, his defeat often results in a game over. Use the varying movement ranges and attack types of your different character classes to control the battlefield, ensuring fragile spellcasters are kept behind tougher melee units.
