Play Artelius (Japan) Online
You navigate alien planets in a clunky NES RPG where turn-based battles hinge on where you stand—just don’t expect to read any of the Japanese text. That synth soundtrack and janky menus somehow make it weirdly endearing.

Game Overview
Artelius is one of those obscure Famicom RPGs that slipped under the radar—probably because it never left Japan. It’s got that late-80s sci-fi vibe, all pixelated spaceships and weird alien planets. The combat’s turn-based but with this odd twist where positioning actually matters, which threw me off at first. And yeah, the dialogue’s all in Japanese, so unless you’re fluent or patient with a guide, expect some guesswork. Still, there’s something charming about its clunky menus and synth-heavy soundtrack. Definitely a curiosity for hardcore retro RPG fans.
