Madō Monogatari (魔導物語; translates as "Story of Sorcery", romanized as Madoh Monogatari in some versions) is a series of first-person dungeon crawler RPGs by Compile. The first game was released in 1989 for MSX2 and NEC PC-9801. The characters of this series would later be used in the puzzle game Puyo Puyo.
Gameplay is traditional RPG with some unique twists. For example, there are no numeric stats; instead, everything is represented by character facial expressions and sprites. Another is the complete lack of physical attacks. Everything utilizes a magical element: Fire, Ice Storm, Thunder, and Bayoen. Some enemies are weaker against one particular magic attack than another.
