SD Keiji – Blader is a Japan-only Famicom role-playing game developed by NMK and published by Taito, released July 19, 1991. You play a rookie officer of the Galactic Federation’s space police who transforms into the titular hero Blader to stop the invading Jadou organization from conquering Earth — an RPG built as an affectionate homage to the classic Space Sheriff (Uchuu Keiji) tokusatsu shows of the era.
How to Play
Explore towns and dungeons from an overhead view, fighting through turn-based random encounters that come up unusually often — stock up on restorative items before heading deep into a dungeon. Equip new arms (weapons), tectors (armor), and units (magic) as you find them, and pick up allies like your partner Millie to help take down Jadou’s forces.
