Summary

In the Empire of Glaive, a gladiator-slave is forced to fight evil monsters controlled by the Dark Lord. But when his best friend is mortally wounded, he learns of a secret pendant which will give him great power. As the hero, you must battle your way out of the Dark Knight's castle and search through a dangerous world for the girl who has the pendant. But you discover she has been captured by the Dark Knight's men. To free her, you must find the legendary sword and fight off the Dark Knight's beasts and overlords through deserts, snowfields, lakes, forests, and caves. Are you ready for the adventure of your life?

Final Fantasy Adventures is an excellent early Action-RPG taking place in the Final Fantasy universe, and it is the first of the Mana series of action-rpg's. This game features a protagonist (you) who is seeking to defeat the Dark Lord, and reunitie a magical pendant with the mysterious Tree of Mana. Along the way, you must defeat legions of evil minions, protect the holder of the pendant, and become a powerful Gemma Knight.

This game was quite fun to play. The action elements to the game were simple, yet engaging. You can sling spells, and use a variety of weapons that all have unique traits and attack patterns. There is plenty to explore, as you traverse land and dungeon to fulfill your quest. The look of this game is rather simple, thanks to the limitations of the Game Boy hardware, but I personally enjoyed the asthetic. The music is excellent as well.

Positives:
+Excellent action-rpg gameplay
+Great aesthetic and music
+An interesting variety of spells and weapons
+Fun and engaging

Negatives:
-Some onerous traversal
-Some jank due to age

All in all, a solid and engaging game. A solid 8.5/10, meaning this is an excellent classic game, that still holds up and plays well.
