Artelius

About

Artelius is a sci-fi role-playing game with shooting mechanics set in a futuristic world. Players navigate a turn-based combat system while engaging in real-time shooting sequences, switching between managing a crew and piloting a spacecraft. The story follows a group of explorers encountering alien threats and figuring out mysteries across distant planets. Gameplay blends resource management with action, requiring balance between strategic planning and quick reflexes during battles. The game remains a niche title due to its exclusive Japanese release in 1987. While not widely known outside retro circles, it has gained a small but dedicated following for its hybrid approach to genres. Its rarity and hybrid design make it a curiosity for collectors and fans of classic Famicom titles.
