History VideoGame / Briganty

''Briganty: The Roots of Darkness'' is an HGame ActionRPG created in 1995 by GIGA (a brand of Technical Group Laboratory, or TGL for short, you may know them better as the developers of the FightingGame ''VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo'' or the earlier VideoGame/SwordDancer) for the UsefulNotes/PC98 computer. It's a rare mixture of PlatformGame, BeatEmUp, and standard RPG gameplay (and some parts are played like a VisualNovel). This game is part of the very small group of PC-98 games that are not VisualNovels, [[ShootEmUp Shoot 'em Ups]], or [[EasternRPG traditional RPGs]] in a strict sense.

Briganty plays like an ActionRPG BeatEmUp game: you have two player characters to use, and as you gain experience and LevelUp, you will also gain the ability of execute Magic/Special attacks by using command inputs like a FightingGame. Also, this game brings some non-linearity by letting you choose your next stage on the map outside the town.

* SpikesOfDoom: Some early levels have these, and they work like the LavaPit mentioned above, so if you fall on them...''get out!!''.

* LavaPit: These replace the SpikesOfDoom on later levels. You don't die if you fall on them, ''but'' these will bring CollisionDamage and deplete your [[LifeMeter Life bar]] ''fast''.
