Velious II – Fukushuu no Jashin is a 1992 action RPG developed by NMK for the Game Boy. Released in North America as Rolan’s Curse II, this Japanese classic tasks players with defeating the evil King Barius, who has returned for revenge. Unlike many handheld adventures of its era, it allows you to recruit and freely switch between four distinct party members, each bringing unique magic and abilities to the fight.
How to Play
Your objective is to explore the overworld, delve into dungeons, and defeat enemy forces while levelling up your party. Use the Arrow Keys (D-pad) to move your hero. Press Z (A button) to attack or confirm actions, and X (B button) to use magic or cancel. Use Enter (Start) to pause the game or access your inventory, and Shift (Select) to switch between your active characters or view the auto-map.
Tips
- Make full use of character switching; some heroes are better suited for ranged magical attacks while others excel in close combat.
- Don’t forget to check the auto-map frequently when exploring dungeons to avoid getting lost in the labyrinthine corridors.
- Remember to save your game regularly, especially before attempting challenging boss encounters.
