Esper Boukentai (NES, 1987) - WIP

Subgenre: ARPG (can talk to both NPCs and enemies, shops, basic leveling system)/Metroid-like

Movement Mechanics: Moon jumps (can jump more than two whole screens upward from the get go and even higher as you level up) and hover jumps (by repeatedly attacking in mid-air)

Other: Level- and key item gating (open doors by hitting switches while at the right level or carrying the right item)

Basic map feature (not that useful)
5 playable chars that you can switch between on the fly after rescuing them (mainly stat differences; Genta can break certain walls and floors, only Naoyuki can reach the treasure chest in the Cylindroom due to having a higher max jump height)
Password save
Some resource management (finite money, lose 2/3 when you die)

Playthrough - Review

Influenced by: Probably Legend of Kage
