Golden Sun
黄金太阳
Golden Sun is a turn-based RPG developed by Camelot Software in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance. Players control a party of four Adepts who wield Psynergy—elemental magic powers—to progress through dungeons and solve environmental puzzles. The core mechanic centers on Djinn, small elemental creatures that can be collected and equipped to modify character classes and stat distributions. Combat combines traditional turn-based exchanges with powerful Summon attacks triggered by combining multiple Djinn. Exploration spans towns, caves, and forests across a large world map. Players navigate menus to manage equipment, Djinn assignments, and Psynergy spells. The game follows a linear progression through story chapters, with optional content available for dedicated players seeking all available Djinn.
