Overview
Gdleen is a Japanese role-playing game developed by Jorudan and published by SETA on May 28, 1991 for the Super Famicom. The game was the very first RPG to be released for the Super Famicom, coming out six months after the console's launch. Gdleen is based off an anime OVA (original video animation) of the same name from 1990 by Tokyo Laboratory. Both the game and the anime are adapted from a series of light novels that were released from 1989 to 1991 by Yuto Ramon titled Jikou Wakusei Gdleen.
The game is a traditional turn-based RPG that uses a first-person perspective in battle, similar to the Dragon Quest series. The setting is a cross between fantasy and sci-fi: the protagonist, Ryuun, is an astronaut that crash lands on a planet filled with magic (the eponymous Gdleen).
