Gods (Japan)

You control a thief who must navigate side-scrolling levels filled with enemies and traps. The core loop involves exploring each stage, finding keys and items, and solving environmental puzzles. What makes this game unique is that a second character, an AI-controlled thief, follows your commands. You can manipulate his behavior to trigger switches, distract enemies, or activate mechanisms. The difficulty also adapts to how well you play, so mistakes can make later sections tougher. Start by moving right, fighting basic foes, and experiment with the thief AI to learn how to progress. Since this is the Japanese release, some menu and text prompts are in Japanese, but the gameplay is intuitive. Focus on using jump and attack together to handle enemies, and keep an eye on your thief's position to solve puzzles efficiently.
