{{stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known as '''''Dragon Crystal: Tsurani no Meikyu''''' (ドラゴンクリスタル ―ツラニの迷宮―) in Japan is a [[Sega Master System]] and [[Sega Game Gear]] roguelike. The gameplay and much of the graphics are shared with ''[[Fatal Labyrinth]]''.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
As you ride a bicycle one late afternoon, you turn down an alley that you never before noticed and enter an antique shop. There, a mysterious glowing crystal is sitting on a shelf. Upon approaching the crystal and gazing into it, a powerful force pulls you in, causing a blackout.
 +
 
 +
You awaken in a forest with a large egg following behind. This forest is a huge maze, crawling with dangerous creatures. You find weapons and other items scattered around with which to fight the monsters. The only way out is to continue onward, defeating monsters and growing in power along the way.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
The game is a roguelike, which is a subgenre of role-playing games characterized by a dungeon crawl through procedurally generated levels. The hero awakens in the middle of a maze and must battle monsters through 30 randomly generated levels of increasing difficulty. At the end of each level but the last is an exit that leads to the next floor. The last level ends with the hero obtaining a holy goblet that frees him from the crystal.
 +
 
 +
The hero moves in any direction using the D-Pad; an egg follows him everywhere. The environment is obscured by a fog until the hero moves into it. In the Game Gear version, holding {{Start}} increases the hero's movement speed; in the Master System version, pressing {{Pause}} switches between slow and fast movement. Though the hero can move freely, the game is essentially turn-based, with each movement or action equivalent to one turn. Monsters appear randomly and take turns with the hero exchanging attacks. This means that getting surrounded can be particularly dangerous as every enemy gets one attack for every one attack that the player gets. It also means that the player can pause a battle simply by waiting to make a move. Killing monsters increases the hero's experience. The hero gains a new level when he acquires enough experience, which increases his hit points. Hit points are traded in battle with the enemy but are recovered by moving around. The egg accompanying the hero hatches into a dragon that grows with him as he gains levels. Gold is used to revive from death, with the cost increasing with the number and severity of previous deaths.
 +
 
 +
Weapons, armor, potions, rings, food, and gold are randomly placed throughout the levels and can be picked up by pressing {{2}} when standing over them. The hero must regularly pick up food to avoid starving. Each food point allows the character to move six spaces on the screen. Bread gives 10 to 30 food points and meat gives 31 to 50 food points; the maximum number of food points is 99.
 +
 
 +
The hero increases his attack power by acquiring better weapons and his defense by acquiring better armor. Other items picked up in the game are color-coded, with colors representing an effect that cannot be discovered until the player uses an item of that color or throws it at an enemy. Pots are potions that can heal or poison the player, Books provide either maps or spells that may strengthen the player in some way or negate a harmful effect (such as removing cursed items), Rods cast spells that affect enemies, and Rings provide bonuses to stats (or sometimes are cursed, such as the Hunger Ring, which makes the player consume food much more quickly and requires a Bless Book to remove). The hero has a limited inventory. Unwanted items, such as armor or weapons weaker than the ones already worn by the player or cursed or poisonous items, can either be dropped or thrown at enemies for minor damage. The player can bring up a status screen for viewing and managing items by pressing {{1}}.

    Dragon Crystal, known as Dragon Crystal: Tsurani no Meikyu (ドラゴンクリスタル ―ツラニの迷宮―) in Japan is a Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear roguelike. The gameplay and much of the graphics are shared with Fatal Labyrinth.

    Story

    As you ride a bicycle one late afternoon, you turn down an alley that you never before noticed and enter an antique shop. There, a mysterious glowing crystal is sitting on a shelf. Upon approaching the crystal and gazing into it, a powerful force pulls you in, causing a blackout.

    You awaken in a forest with a large egg following behind. This forest is a huge maze, crawling with dangerous creatures. You find weapons and other items scattered around with which to fight the monsters. The only way out is to continue onward, defeating monsters and growing in power along the way.

    Gameplay

    The game is a roguelike, which is a subgenre of role-playing games characterized by a dungeon crawl through procedurally generated levels. The hero awakens in the middle of a maze and must battle monsters through 30 randomly generated levels of increasing difficulty. At the end of each level but the last is an exit that leads to the next floor. The last level ends with the hero obtaining a holy goblet that frees him from the crystal.

    The hero moves in any direction using the D-Pad; an egg follows him everywhere. The environment is obscured by a fog until the hero moves into it. In the Game Gear version, holding  START  increases the hero's movement speed; in the Master System version, pressing  PAUSE  switches between slow and fast movement. Though the hero can move freely, the game is essentially turn-based, with each movement or action equivalent to one turn. Monsters appear randomly and take turns with the hero exchanging attacks. This means that getting surrounded can be particularly dangerous as every enemy gets one attack for every one attack that the player gets. It also means that the player can pause a battle simply by waiting to make a move. Killing monsters increases the hero's experience. The hero gains a new level when he acquires enough experience, which increases his hit points. Hit points are traded in battle with the enemy but are recovered by moving around. The egg accompanying the hero hatches into a dragon that grows with him as he gains levels. Gold is used to revive from death, with the cost increasing with the number and severity of previous deaths.

    Weapons, armor, potions, rings, food, and gold are randomly placed throughout the levels and can be picked up by pressing 2 when standing over them. The hero must regularly pick up food to avoid starving. Each food point allows the character to move six spaces on the screen. Bread gives 10 to 30 food points and meat gives 31 to 50 food points; the maximum number of food points is 99.

    The hero increases his attack power by acquiring better weapons and his defense by acquiring better armor. Other items picked up in the game are color-coded, with colors representing an effect that cannot be discovered until the player uses an item of that color or throws it at an enemy. Pots are potions that can heal or poison the player, Books provide either maps or spells that may strengthen the player in some way or negate a harmful effect (such as removing cursed items), Rods cast spells that affect enemies, and Rings provide bonuses to stats (or sometimes are cursed, such as the Hunger Ring, which makes the player consume food much more quickly and requires a Bless Book to remove). The hero has a limited inventory. Unwanted items, such as armor or weapons weaker than the ones already worn by the player or cursed or poisonous items, can either be dropped or thrown at enemies for minor damage. The player can bring up a status screen for viewing and managing items by pressing 1.
