About this game

Fantasy Master Gaiden 1: Lamplight Cavern is a portrait, one-handed pixel-art dungeon RPG. From the Town of Lamplight, you lead a party of up to six into a cavern labyrinth ten floors deep.

Exploration is a classic first-person crawl, one tile at a time. But when you meet monsters, the screen changes and a real-time horde battle begins: your party, in formation, cuts down the swarm as it closes in.

How deep to go, and when to turn back. The game moves between the tension of the labyrinth and the thrill of sweeping a horde away.

Features

Exploring the labyrinth

The labyrinth is ten floors deep. Each floor brings new terrain and new monsters, and they grow tougher the deeper you go.

• First-person exploration, one tile at a time: step forward, back, sideways, and turn
• The map fills in automatically as you walk, and each floor keeps its exploration rate
• Hidden doors, floor traps, and darkness. How well you search, disarm, and light the way depends on class and gear
• Monsters roam the halls, and nearby packs merge into larger ones. The bigger the horde, the bigger the reward
• Somewhere in the labyrinth, a dreadful presence lurks
• The Return spell brings you home. Decide to turn back before your MP runs dry

Horde battles

Touch a monster and the battle screen opens. Your party, in formation, cuts down the oncoming swarm in a real-time fight that plays like a vertical shooter.

• Attacks fire automatically on each cooldown. Melee weapons send short slashes; bows and spells fly far
• Move the party with the pad, and switch Attack and Cast on or off for each ally
• The further forward, the more you get hit. Build your front and back lines with rows and formations
• Defeat many enemies within 3 seconds to rise through Chain, Wipe, and Crush: faster attacks and more EXP and gold
• About 60 spells for attack, healing, and protection
• If you cannot win, retreat. Success depends on your party's agility against the enemy's
• Change battle speed or pause to play at your own pace

Party and growth

Create allies at the tavern and form a party of up to six. You can keep more allies waiting in reserve.

• Five races: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, and Hobbit. Base stats come from race
• Ten classes such as Warrior, Knight, Thief, Hunter, Priest, and Mage, plus four advanced classes. Change class at the training ground
• Levels rise when you rest at the inn. Room grades differ in recovery and in how many days pass
• Carve runes at the smith to improve regeneration, defense, critical hits, trap disarming, and more
• A wiped party's bodies stay in the labyrinth. Recover them with another party and revive them at the temple

Town of Lamplight

Your base is the Town of Lamplight, at the mouth of the labyrinth.

• Tavern and Training: create allies, form your party, and change classes
• Shop: buy and sell weapons, armor, and items, and appraise unidentified finds
• Inn and Temple: rest to recover, and bring fallen allies back
• Smith: carve runes
• Chamber of Commerce: invest to learn new formations
• Royal Castle and Royal Academy: your progress so far, codices of monsters, classes, weapons, armor, and formations, and the book of spells

Records and replay

Parties come and go, but what you learn in the labyrinth stays.

• Complete the codices of monsters, weapons, armor, and formations
• 25 records such as kills, disarmed traps, and opened chests. Build them up to earn titles
• Equip titles in their slots to carry their power into the labyrinth
• Push every floor to 100% explored
