It’s JRPG time! Here’s a killer track from the Super Famicom game Treasure of the Rudras, Surlent’s boss fight theme “Spirit Chaser”!

You may not be too familiar with Treasure of the Rudras (or Treasure of Rudra), as it’s never officially left Japan, but hopefully we can use our power of VGM-cover-game-summoning to bring an official translation overseas.

This game has a spell system (“Mantra”) where you make spells using different words that you input yourself. Different words render different results. This really neat system could be what prevented the game from being released outside of Japan, as it’d have to be reworked to make sense in different regions.

Anyway, it’d awesome to see this game remade and released worldwide sometime. Oh yeah, and of course, the soundtrack, composed by Ryuji Sasai who you might know from our familiar friend Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, is great as well! 🙂
