Tecmo Secret of the Stars

Earthquakes and monsters plague the land as the evil Homncruse seeks to rule the world, and your destiny is to find other heroes and form the “Aqutallion” to stop him. It’s a familiar fantasy story with some sci-fi elements, and JRPG tropes abound. You traverse a world map, enter towns and dungeons, and your characters are super- deformed “chibi” sprites with grid-based movement until a battle occurs.
