Lucienne’s Quest

About Lucienne’s Quest

Lucienne's Quest is a standard Japanese role-playing game. The player controls the main character Lucienne as she adventures from town to town with others to find a cure for Ago, a man cursed as a werewolf. The game has a day/night cycle, which affects when Ago is in human or wolf form, changing his strength in battle. At each town, Lucienne can take on quests to help the town's citizens, buy new equipment, and explore dungeons. Every few towns, the player gains a new party member and the plot thickens. When exploring towns and dungeons, the player can destroy objects in the environment to clear paths and get items.

The battle system is similar to Suikoden (1995), taking place from an isometric perspective on a grid with turn-based actions. Although the player can attack anyone from any location on the map, the battle fields are littered with obstacles that block attacks. Every weapon has both a statistic to measure its effectiveness at attacking enemies and one to measure its ability to destroy obstacles. Some characters can also use magic and summon spirits that act as secondary attacks but also give items and gold to the player.

The story of Lucienne's Quest is notably simple. The teenaged Lucienne is left in charge of watching her master's tower while he is away. A man named Ago arrives at the tower looking for Lucienne's master to get a cure for his lycanthropy. The two decide to set off on an adventure to search for a cure. Along their journey, they help people of other towns with their dilemmas and gain party members to help their cause.
