About

A PC Engine (TurboGrafx) enhanced port of Momotarō Densetsu for NES.

The story follows the classical Momotarō plot: an old couple found a boy inside a giant peach, and named him "Momotarō" (peach boy). Later, the boy decided to rid the land of the evil demon tribe. Help Momotarō reach the Demon Island and defeat the demons!

Gameplay-wise and graphically, this is a typical Momotarō RPG: navigating the little hero through the top-down world map, the player visits towns, descends into dungeons, equips Momotarō with weapons and armor, buys items, and fights random enemies and monsters in turn-based combat viewed from first person perspective.

Updates and differences from the NES original include animal helpers who now walk behind the protagonist and who occasionally help out in combat, upgraded world map, different events and quests such as item trading, revamped equipment, being able to store items at the bank, etc . Also the age mechanic, which would give an approximate play time, was replaced by a clock and an easy difficulty setting was also included.
