Daria Reviews Treasure Hunter G [SNES] - Squaresoft's other amazing SRPG
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Treasure Hunter G [SNES] was developed by STING (Yggdra Union) and published by Square on the Super Famicom exclusively in Japan. Having been released in 1996, Treasure Hunter G was released in direct competition to early Playstation and Saturn games. In order to compete graphically to these more advanced systems STING used computer modeled sprites much like those in Super Mario RPG and Donkey Kong Country.
Gameplay: Treasure Hunter G is an SRPG. Battles are turn based on a battle grid. Characters fight enemies using weapons, elemental magic, and battle items. Outside of battle sequences, the player explored dungeons and towns similar to the traditional Final Fantasy or DragonQuest style.
Story: Brothers Red and Blue G (who strangely enough wear blue and green) set off on a mission to locate their estranged treasure hunter father, Brown G. Along the way they join forces with a mysterious girl, Rain, and her violin-playing monkey, Pongo. They uncover a plot by the evil Darklord to imprison the world's guardian fairies and awaken an ancient evil. Together the heroes set out to find the relics needed to fight this evil and save the world.

Oh, this game is great! The track "Sad Freedom" has a permanent place in my work playlist. That song is seriously beautiful!
Another SNES RPG with a near-identical combat system is "Dark Law: Meaning of Death"
One of my fav JRPGs, stunning pixel art...
I just stumbled onto your channel, and I have to say I love your content. Subbed!
Jesus this is a beautiful SFC RPG!! Also, Red is in Saga Frontier right? i'm not crazy??
Yes he is! Shit I forgot to mention the cameo XD
I think Blue is also considered the same Blue from Frontier.
Blue doesn't have any resemblance, though. (And Frontier's Blue probably actually should have been spelled Bleu, since his twin is Rouge, not Red.)
Too bad he doesn't have his Alkhaiser form from SaGa Frontier
Holy shiet! So true!!
Great review! I love this channel,so many games that I played when I was younger that not many talk about. I never played any of the front missions, I’ll have to see if you did any of those
Now this is an RPG I can get into! I like the "battle grid" makes it clear as to whats going on.
This is precisely why i bought an super ufo, to play translated super famicom games and this looks right up my alley.
Your voice is sooooo soothing you should be doing audiobooks XD.
Super awesome! Great review. I bought this game a while back and only got like an hour in. Time to pick up again
Thanx for the review....I been search for this game years....now i gonna play it in emulator.....Im a subscriber to this channel now! keep doing what U do~~~Its rare to see someone review some old school RPG lately.
I do not think many people will be let down by this. It is an above average game with beautiful graphics (for the snes) and a decent enough story.
The sprites look just like the ones seen in Seiken Densetsu 3, Legend of Mana, and SaGa Frontier. Especially SaGa. They had to have been done by the same artists.
Awesome video! I recently bought this game ( haven't played it yet ) but it looks fun. To be honest, I bought it because the sprites and some of the art work reminds me of the GBA game Golden Sun.
Excellent review! Love the style and depth of the script. Man, I had no idea this game existed.
Thanks, yeah it's amazing all the cool games that didn't get released in the West.
Thank goodness for language patches!
Wow... I'd never even heard of this game.. I'm surprised you didn't mention the graphics, they all look pre-rendered and pretty amazing. Well done review!
Yeah I kind of narrowly targeted the battle system for this review - good thing about doing video is I don't necessarily have to mention graphics (or music) I can just show it off.
I didn't know you had a UA-cam channel! It's so amazing seeing you grow in popularity from the days of when we were in a forum. Hope everything is going well homie
OMG it's a moogle. Are you lost? :P
Everything is fine-ish, as can be given the quarantine and all that. How have you been?
@@DariaPlaysRPGs lol I am not Moogie but I think we joined around the same time so I get the confusion lol. I have been well! The quarantine does suck and I hope you are staying safe and sane
I thought you were LostMoogle? No?
Really good review plus I found a new nice game :D I have just been given your channel a quick look and it seems very interesting so you got yourself a new subscriber! ^ , ^
This was a good video! Thank you!
Excellent review. I really enjoyed it.
dokapon kingdom is really good. I will try this one.
wow this is a vary impressive looking SNES game. great review on it of course :)
Didn't realize this was by Sting. Now I will have to play it ASAP
I'm so glad you took the time to look over this one! I just played it recently, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I actually think one of the greatest strengths of Treasure Hunter G is in the characters; I don't know if the dialogue was like this in the original Japanese version, but I thought some of it was genuinely funny. Especially that monk in the temple that says “I’ve been here meditating for over 50 years. Where’s my goddamned enlightenment?”
I also really liked how much the four characters interacted with each other throughout the adventure. I think even some of the best RPGs for the console can be a bit dry when it comes to that, but I really felt that these characters bonded over the course of their journey. Every time you would go to an inn, the characters would have a small, unique conversation. If you went up to a sandcastle and tried to interact with it, the characters would all help to build it. It's little details like that which really helped me finish the game as opposed to just playing it for a while.
(Of course, its brevity and the battle system certainly helped.)
I liked the old guy that was "Yoyoyoyoyoyo.... what? When you get to be my age you want to try something weird."
But yeah while I thought the overall story was meh, but the conversations were great.
I've heard this game's name before, but I never really looked into it. This game looks absolutely awesome!
For anyone wondering, the amazing game at 0:34 is FEDA: The Emblem of Justice.
My hero
The music and art looks a LOT like SaGa Frontier.
Nice review, Daria. ❤
Gorgeous graphics! Not much of an SRPG fan but it IS released by Square, pre-Enix. Looks a lot cleaner than most SRPGS regarding the grid. What's up with monkeys in Japanese games and the Ukiki, or Kiki sounds? There's Kiki the monkey in Zelda LTTP, htis monkey character says Ukiki..and I'm pretty sure the monkey in Mega Man Legends makes that sound too. Or was it Zack and Wiki?
Dear Daria: Can you please do a video on Super Shell Monsters Story??
It's my favorite SFC JRPG witch is fan translated and it's a total hidden gem no one talks about.
It can compete with Pokemon and Dragon Quest and IMO it's even the best looking SFC JRPG with the most awesome cute battle screen.
Dark Lord is a cool name. Nice review.
I didn't even know this game existed! Guess I have a new RPG to add to the backlog.
I really like the way you edit videos. 😆
Kenseiger J Heh thanks. Editing is definitely the fun part about making videos (aside from playing the games).
a new video, hurrah! :)
The battle system looks quite unique! Pretty cool they did a slightly different twist on the typical sRPG genre. Since you said it is only like 15 hours long, I'll definitely have to check it out. I love shorter RPGs. I don't think how long to beat an RPG doesn't really matter, look at Chrono Trigger for example.
I really like the short ones too - even if I don't have a ton of time to game I can always squeeze them into my schedule.
Apparently square soft on the super Famicom is a very untouched subject even on UA-cam
Guess you beat me to it. Well done. Still need to play this
LuciousShowcase Yes you do. It's a really short game and I really want to hear your take on it.
It's short? aww man now i definitely need to play it
Like 15 hours max
I mean it's no Gunman's Proof but for an RPG that's pretty short.
DariaPlaysRPGs yea thats a very reasonable amount of time
Neat!, found your channel by accident and now finding some hidden gens to play :D.
By any chances the shelf full of games on the other video is yours? If it is, I saw a lunar silver star in there, which would be awesome to see a review :D.
Cheers!
Lavitz
Hey glad you're finding some good stuff to play. Also, yup that's my shelf.
"Lunar Silver Star: Great game on any system... except the GBA. That version is ass incarnate."
Gba version Lunar silver star was really ass. I don't know why the hell they changed some plot points.
Who'd of guessed a guy named Dark Lord, wasnt gonna be a good guy.
Clesarie it's like naming your kid Jeeves, you're really not giving them any other options.
Your channel has heavily influenced by retro back log. Gratzi.
Do we buy from the same repro guy lol? I haven't picked this one up, but it's on my list. Looks like a really fun game! Great review!
Unlikely. I don't do reproductions. :P
Ah gotcha. A lot of these English translated games have repros, but roms are pretty spiffy too, and free.
I do like free.
Did you ever beat Dual Orb 2? That game was brutal!
Haven't played it yet. :P
I have not beat it yet, but yes, it is amazing.
This game is beautiful. The graphics look awesome and imo could be mistaken for a ps1 game
Seems pretty interesting!
Retromancers - Retro Game Let's Plays and Reviews Yeah. I had a lot of fun with this one. Not a perfrect game but fun.
Good review!
I love some Strategy games, and I've played this before and it was fun.
However I wasn't a big fan of the story, which is mostly why I play RPGs.
One thing that always turned me off was the character sprite for I think it's Red, he looks like he should be carrying briefcases in both arms because of how far out they are.
I know its because he is probably supposed to be buff, but it always bothered me.
TenButtonGamer Red was just the original obnoxious dude bro. But yeah the story sucked ass. :/
What is the game at 0:34 called? It looks awesome.
love your reviews
Chris Grimm Thanks
Love your videos. Have you done marvelous yet?
So I haven't done a full video on it, but I covered it in my Zelda Clones video: ua-cam.com/video/Gl5C5zXljiA/v-deo.htmlm45s
I agree with you on this one! The game feels unfinished in a way, great soundtrack, I hate the limited inventory...just didn’t felt as a great game...such a shame because it’s a squaresoft rpg
This reminds mean more of old school PC RPGs like many Ultimas and the D&D goldbox games more then an SRPG but it would have been fun. And I never understood why Super Nintendo publishers yielded the SRPG front of the North American 16-bit wars to Sega with so little effort Super Famicom had some great SRPGs but outside of Ogre Battle they never made it to the US except for some that got ported to a later system in America.
do you gain back your hit points after every battle
You should do Secret of the Stars...
If the story is like the original Breath of fire game or Lufia then count me out. If its at-least a little more inventive then i might consider it. Like something more attune to Secret of mana (pretty straightforward story but also with a few interesting twists and meatier translation) I do like the visuals and gamplay elements however. I need a bit more input though before i decide to purchase it.
If it helps, I hate the first Breath of Fire and Lufia but really enjoyed THG. But unlike those other games, it has excellent gameplay to keep the player engrossed. The story's ok. Nothing you're really going to think much about after the adventure's over, but I think it's entertaining enough while you're playing it. Certainly has its fair share of funny moments and high action points.
Heya Daria. How's it going? Life treating you well lately? Anyway, you've sort of opened Pandora's box here. I've long been interested in videogame board games. Like Mario Party, Beauty And The Beast on GBC, Sugoro Quest, and now apparently Dokapon Kingdom. I do like adaptations of existing games like Clue or HeroQuest but mainly I'm looking for original games done in the style of board games. Is there a resource you can recommend to help me find as many of these as possible? Do you use a certain site for research? I've been looking but can't seem to find one.
Hey I'm good, thanks. Been busy messy around with RPG Maker on the 3DS. I don't know a good source for boardgame videogames, I wish I did. If you find one let me know.
you need a high five.
High five!
Woot!
*smack*
I got a retro of this
What's the name of the game at 0:37? It looks awesome.
FEDA a sort of Shining Force look-a-like on the SNES and Sega Saturn.
Sting is hit and miss for me but I do really like some of their games, like Dokapon Kingdom. Treasure Hunter G was fairly low on my list of RPGs to play, but didn't know it was short so that might bump it up a bit.
Pimpzilla87 I've really only played this, Riviera (gba), and Dokapon (wii - loved it!). I liked Riveria in short bursts but not something I could stand for hours at a time.
0:28 What game is it?
Just started this. Battle is annoying but i'm getting used to it.
Anyone know the title of this 0:35 game?
Oh that's FEDA. It's on Super Famicom (translation available) and Japanese Sega Saturn.
@@DariaPlaysRPGs oh thank you! I like that game.
NICE! I
As always, great video; particularly like the voice-over narration which is nice and informative to listen to. Since I did not grow up with the SNES, it is always a pleasure to find new RPG games to play on my retro consoles from your reviews. Thank you.
www.RetroGamersHub.com
Hey I didn't either. It's all new to me too. :P
Did anyone else have an uncontrollable seizure @ 1:26?
This game is really really hard
I give up!
What's the name of that RPG on 0:36???
in the same boat. Would like to know.
Whoops! Sorry I missed the original comment Jan but that's FEDA - available (fan translated) in English on SNES and untranslated on Saturn.
This is a test.
A shame they didn't just delay this one a year and update it as a PS release. What a waste to put something like this out as a SF release in 1996.
Bahamut Lagoon is slightly better than this one as far as late SFamicom SRPG goes. Neither are a must play and overshadowed by the awesome Ogre Battle.
Daria marry me!!! ♡
1996 was the year every game developer went with 3D rendered sprites and then hmm .... NAH!
