Wizap! – Ankoku no Ou is an action role-playing game developed by SAS Sakata and published by ASCII for the Super Famicom in 1994. As the second entry in the loose “Dark Lord” trilogy, it stands out with its open-ended structure and a strict time limit mechanism where the player has 20 in-game days to prevent the descent of the Dark Lord.
How to Play
As a mercenary, your objective is to explore the world, complete specific quests, and gather the necessary power to stop the Dark Lord before your 20-day time limit expires. Combat is action-oriented rather than turn-based. To play in your browser, use the Arrow Keys for movement (acting as the D-pad), Z and X for the A and B buttons, and Enter/Shift for Start and Select. Navigating the open-ended event triggers efficiently is the key to avoiding a bad ending.
Tips
- Since you only have 20 days, prioritize quest objectives over aimless grinding to ensure you make enough progress before the time runs out.
- Experiment with different event sequences, as the game’s free-form structure means certain quests are only available at specific times or under certain conditions.
