Monstania | モンスタニア - Parte 5: Nivel 14 (Maberia: Restaurant) [RetroAchievements]

Complete playthrough of this Super Nintendo exclusive RPG, released only in Japan in 1996 and featuring characters designed by Igusa Matsuyama, who later went on to design the characters for (almost) all of the games in the Harvest Moon and Rune Factory franchises. In fact, 11 of the people involved in the development of “Monstania” would work together again on “Harvest Moon.” “Monstania” was not released in the West, but it was translated into English by the Aeon Genesis team, which released a translation patch for this game that can be downloaded at this link: https://aeongenesis.net/projects/mons... In “Monstania,” we play as Fron, a restless teenage adventurer, and his girlfriend Tia. One night, Fron sees a light in the sky that guides him to a clearing in the forest. Fron is convinced that this light will allow him to contact fairies, but Tia remains skeptical, given that fairies have long been extinct in Monstania. Nevertheless, they head to the forest clearing, and what they find there will mark the beginning of their great adventure. Monstania is classified, even today, as a tactical RPG; however, I believe that this is not entirely correct, as the game mechanics actually correspond to roguelikes. I would say that it is actually a simplified roguelike, with an emphasis on storytelling. In this playthrough, I try to master the game on RetroAchievements. _____________________________________ Once they arrive in the city of Maberia, our characters head to a restaurant to eat and rest. In the middle of the feast, they discover that they cannot pay for their meal because they lost their wallet. And we all know what that means... This level consists of three puzzles in which Fron must clean the floors of the establishment in a single route that covers all the squares on the map without passing twice through the same square. Once the level is complete, Fron decides to help Marina, the restaurant waitress, go look for her younger brother Marco, who went to play in the mountains in the morning and has not yet returned, even though it is almost nighttime. The mountains are called Graveyard... _____________________________________ The game was played on Linux, using the Snes9x emulator under RetroArch, and the gameplay was captured using the GPU Screen Recorder application. 0:00 Loading 0:08 Title Screen 0:27 Plot 1:48 Saving 1:59 Plot 2:41 Saving 2:49 Plot 5:53 Cleaning the First Floor 9:06 Cleaning the Second Floor 11:53 Cleaning the Third Floor 13:31 Saving 13:45 Plot 16:06 Saving
