Riglas

Most RPGs of the 80s utilized an overhead view or a first person perspective, while a select few (such as Falcom titles like Xanadu and Romancia) were side-scrollers. Riglas is one of the few that uses an oblique perspective, which is technically side-scrolling but lets you walk upwards and downwards, commonly called “belt-scrollers” when applied to beat-em-ups like Double Dragon. The closest point of reference for Westerners as far as RPGs go would probably be Lenar’s famously dreadful Deadly Towers, though thankfully Riglas is a bit better.
