Synopsis

Deep Dungeon III: Y?shi no Tabi (Deep Dungeon III: The Hero's Journey) is the third installment in the Deep Dungeon series and the first to be released for the Famicom. It is the first Deep Dungeon title to offer the player a world to explore across multiple dungeons and multiple towns. It also allows the player to create their own team with up to three companions in addition to the hero character, with a choice of guard, wizard or priest for each character. Although the player can discard a character once the game has started, they will only be able to replace it if they encounter another pre-created playable character in one of the dungeons. However, the game will end as soon as the "swordsman" protagonist is defeated. This game retains the player-adjustable level statistics of the first game, as well as the feature that removes random encounters if the player has a significantly higher experience level than required for their current location. An exclusive and rather annoying feature of this game engine is that sometimes the player character will fumble (remove) their equipped weapon, wasting that character's turn. If the player wishes to rearm their weapon, it will cost them another turn. It is the only game in the series to reward the player money (Gold) by defeating enemies. All other games will force the player to re-enter maps to collect respawning chests for money or items (for resale) if they want to make gold.
