Koro Koro Quest
Koro Koro Quest is an arcade RPG released in 1999 by Takumi. Players control a rolling ball character navigating overhead maps, engaging in turn-based or action-oriented combat encounters as they progress through the game's stages. The title features a lighthearted fantasy setting with various enemy types and quest objectives spread across multiple levels. Using the arcade cabinet's controls, players guide their character through environments, collecting items and building up stats or resources to overcome increasingly difficult opponents. The game's RPG mechanics are adapted for the arcade format, offering a relatively accessible structure suited to short play sessions typical of arcade settings. Takumi, known primarily for shoot-em-ups, took a different direction with this title.
