Black Bird: Tori-tachi no Tooboe

Released1995
Black Bird is a solo dungeon crawler (with auto-map feature): the gameplay consists of exploring maze-like passages in pseudo-3D environment, fighting randomly appearing enemies. The game features card-based combat. Lightning and his opponent are dealt a deck of cards. The goal is to get rid of single cards and to build combinations (three of a kind, straight, etc.), a bit similarly to a poker game. A successfully built combination inflicts damage on the enemy. There are also defense-strengthening and healing cards, which the player can use between the combinations. Beside that, the game has a traditional RPG system with hit points, experience points, leveling up, money management, equipment, etc.

About This Game

In the early 21st century, Tokyo has become a hub for groundbreaking computer science research and the rediscovery of ancient magic. A crime organization called Digital Beast has seized control of much of the new technological infrastructure, accumulating enough power to operate beyond the reach of normal law enforcement. A mercenary known as Lightning — Light for short — recently joined a secretive special group called Black Bird. His latest assignment sends him to investigate strange occurrences at the New Planning company building, a lead that may put him directly on Digital Beast's trail.
