Little Master: Raikuban no Densetsu

About

Little Master: Raikuban no Densetsu is a turn-based strategy game with RPG elements for the Game Boy. Players lead a team of characters across grid-based battlefields using positioning and abilities to outmaneuver enemies. Between fights you manage resources and upgrade skills to tackle tougher challenges. The simple visuals and straightforward controls let the tactical depth take center stage. As the first entry in the Little Master series this 1991 title laid the groundwork for later tactical RPGs. It remains a niche curiosity outside Japan due to its canceled Western release but fans of classic strategy games often cite its tight mechanics and replayability. With a small but dedicated community it’s a hidden gem for those seeking old school tactics with a JRPG twist.
