Play Jikuu Senki Mu Online

Summary

Jikuu Senki Mu landed on the Game Boy in September 1991, turning the handheld into a surprisingly deep RPG. The game lets you name and shape the hero’s face from a selection of parts, a "Fukuwarai" system that actually sets initial stats.

You can recruit up to 20 uniquely designed companions, each with distinct jobs—from knights and wizards to a healing priestess and even a fighting dog. Parties top out at four members, but when a fifth joins a brand‑new roster appears, letting you juggle up to five different squads. All characters share one level, so experience gained in any battle lifts the entire team.

Class‑changes are triggered by items or events and can dramatically boost a character’s power, turning a basic knight into a holy crusader or a simple mage into a mighty sorcerer. The pixel art was drawn by manga artist Ochi yoshi Hiko, giving each hero a distinct, cartoon‑flair look that still charms retro fans.

Despite modest magazine scores, the title’s massive party management and customizable hero still earn it a niche cult following among handheld RPG collectors.

Storyline

Jikuu Senki Mu (often just called Mu) opens on the continent of Mu, once ruled by King Luls II of the Prin kingdom. After abruptly replacing the traditional Neel faith with the Max religion, the queen disappears, the newborn heir is kidnapped, and monsters begin to emerge, blamed on exiled Neel worshippers. Sixteen years later the monsters breach Prin Castle; a gravely wounded king escapes to the remote village of Eribe. The player controls a 16‑year‑old hero, the king’s missing child, who sets out to free towns that have fallen under human‑disguised monsters. Defeating a town boss liberates its people, unlocks facilities and can even add new party members such as the knight Tarcus, the apprentice magician Haman, the bard Rolde, thief Rack, gypsy Manon, seer Hilda, and many others. Dungeon bosses open whole regions on the world map, and some bosses serve as both town and area guardians. The story builds toward a final solo showdown against the true mastermind behind the Max cult, revealing the king’s fate and the hero’s destiny as the continent’s savior.
