Sorcerer's Kingdom, called Sorcer Kingdom (ソーサルキングダム) in Japan, is a 1992 RPG by NCS for the Sega Mega Drive brought overseas by Treco.

Story

In one kingdom, adventuring is a noble art — adventurers are held in high honor and are made rich by the lineage of kings. But evil forces around the kingdom make adventuring also very dangerous. You are an adventurer who must take up the mission of his father, another adventurer who set out to destroy the evil and went missing.

Gameplay

The game engine is very orthogonal — no matter where you are, controls are the same. C opens menus and makes a selection, B exits a menu, and simply touch a person/enemy/object to talk/fight/interact. Otherwise the game plays similarly to other RPGs.
