Lufia & The Fortress of Doom is one of those SNES RPGs that flew under the radar but absolutely deserves more love. Right from the start, you're thrown into a world where ancient gods, mysterious ruins, and a ragtag group of heroes collide—classic '90s RPG vibes, but with its own twist.

The combat's straightforward turn-based stuff, but the dungeons? They’re packed with puzzles that actually make you stop and think. I remember getting stuck in some temple for way too long because I kept missing a hidden switch behind a pot. (Pro tip: check behind everything.)

Visually, it’s got that bright, chunky pixel art style SNES fans adore, and the music? Absolute bangers. The story starts simple—evil fortress, destined heroes—but it layers in some surprisingly emotional moments later on. If you’re into old-school RPGs with a mix of dungeon crawling and story, this one’s a solid time capsule.
