  Better RPG's existed, but Lufia's deep story and charming characters evolved a formula used by the best games today.

  I'll call this my 15th anniversary review. This game got me into RPG's. And, until the release of Chrono Trigger nearly 2 years later, it stood tall among the crowd. It had a story unlike most, and even stories just... Read Full Review

  Turn based fun that doesn't do anything new, but does the basics real well.

  By WinWalter | Review Date: Jan 24, 2008 | SNES

  Taito has released some pretty poor games and some pretty good ones. Lufia & the Fortress of Doom is probably more of the latter. If you've never heard of the Lufia series of RPGs, that's not that surprising. There's ... Read Full Review

  One of the best games the SNES has to offer. And one of few games that have an even better sequel.

  Old School, Die Hard Game, which I would recommend to anyone.

  By Than924 | Review Date: Jul 20, 2005 | SNES

  I have played Lufia through quite a number of times... The Story Line is strong and the RP elements are distinct. The old SNES graphics are outdated as one would expect, but the playability is fun. I would recommend ... Read Full Review
