Aretha
0 plays 1993 #RPG
Aretha is a 1990 role-playing game developed by Japan Art Media for the Game Boy. It has a fantasy-themed story about the Princess of Aretha named Materia, who seeks out to free her land after it was taken over long ago by a Demon King.
The game was published by Yanoman and received positive reviews scores in Famicom Tsūshin, while a reviewer in Hardcore Gaming 101 felt it was a higher quality game than contemporary home console RPGs for the Family Computer. Both publications commented on the games high difficulty level. The game spawned five follow-ups, with two on the Game Boy and three on the Super Famicom, while none of the game in the Aretha series were officially released in English.
It came out only in Japan; this version has an unofficial English fan translation.
