A thousand adventures in one! — Discover the roots of the Mystery Dungeon series
Originally released only in Japan, the first entry in the Mystery Dungeon series and prequel to Torneko: The Last Hope is finally making its international debut!
Packed with the challenge, tension, and rewarding gameplay of a classic roguelike adventure, this is a journey we're excited for a new generation of players take on!
"He's Not a Hero. He's a Merchant. And He's Here to Close the Deal."
Set after the events of DRAGON QUEST IV, this is the story of Torneko, a man who dreams of becoming the world's greatest weapons merchant. One day, he hears rumors of a mysterious dungeon said to contain incredible treasures. In search of a legendary treasure that no one has ever managed to bring back, Torneko sets out for the Mystery Dungeon.
■ Gameplay
Every decision matters. No safety nets.
Every time you enter, the Mystery Dungeon takes on a new form. That's the essence of the Mystery Dungeon series. Items and monsters change with every expedition, and each new journey begins from Level 1.
In this turn-based adventure, every step Torneko takes counts as a turn. Whenever he moves, the monsters move too, making every decision a matter of survival. Defeat enemies to gain experience and level up, gather equipment and items to grow stronger, and venture ever deeper in search of treasure. The deeper you go, the more powerful the monsters become.
If you are defeated in the dungeon, all the items you have collected will be lost, and your next attempt will begin again from Level 1 on the first floor. It's a dungeon-crawling RPG worthy of the claim to offer "a thousand adventures in one"!
■ Expand Your Shop with the Items You Collect!
If you can safely bring items back from the dungeon, you can gradually expand Torneko's shop. As the shop grows, you will be able to store more equipment and items between adventures, creating a lasting sense of progress even as each journey begins from Level 1.
■ Difficulty Options
Customize the challenge of the Mystery Dungeon to suit your playstyle! Whether you're entering the Mystery Dungeon for the first time or returning as a seasoned dungeon crawler seeking the ultimate challenge, adjustable difficulty settings let you enjoy the adventure your way—and keep you coming back for more.
—Experience is your only weapon. Return to the roots of the Mystery Dungeon genre and take on the very first adventure—one that continues to captivate fans to this day!
