EGGCONSOLE Revival Xanadu Easy Ver PC-9801 is a premium action-packed role-playing game that revives a classic Japanese RPG from the mid-80s with small but meaningful updates. The game invites you into a dungeon-crawling journey filled with exploration, growth, and battle. While the core experience remains faithful to its roots, this version adds just enough to smooth out some rough edges.

If you've played retro-style RPGs like Ys Chronicles, you'll find familiar ground here. EGGCONSOLE Revival Xanadu Easy Ver PC-9801 keeps things straightforward with its progression system and fast-paced real-time combat while maintaining the structure and difficulty that defined the original.

A familiar and gameplay narrative reimagined

In EGGCONSOLE Revival Xanadu Easy Ver PC-9801, you take on the role of a lone adventurer tasked with finding the legendary Dragon Slayer sword and defeating the King Dragon. The world is divided into ten stages, each offering maze-like layouts filled with traps, hidden items, and enemy encounters. Your path forward depends not just on brute strength but on smart resource management. Since enemies don’t respawn, every decision counts.

Combat starts the moment you make contact with a monster, shifting immediately into a battle using either body slams or magic. This is where the game’s unique progression system comes in—your stats grow based on what you use. Rely more on magic, and your mage levels rise; focus on weapons, and you’ll grow stronger as a warrior. Even your gear levels up through repeated use, which adds a layer of strategy to how you approach each area.

This version enhances the original with upgraded 400-line graphics and a richer 16-color palette. A remastered soundtrack adds variety, offering different tracks per level and unique themes within towers. A built-in map helps you keep track of where you are and where enemies might be hiding. While the game is faithful to its original design, it doesn’t include a scene-select mode, and most of the in-game text remains in Japanese.

For those who love old-school RPGs with a few extras

If you're someone who enjoys classic RPGs and doesn’t mind a bit of challenge, EGGCONSOLE Revival Xanadu Easy Ver PC-9801 offers a focused, well-paced experience. It sticks to its original mechanics while making small improvements that make a difference. It may not appeal to everyone, especially those who prefer fully localized content or modern conveniences, but it remains a solid pick for fans of retro-action RPGs.
