Release Date: 1992
"Defenders of Oasis" is a role-playing game released for the Sega Game Gear in 1992. Set in a fantastical version of the ancient Middle East, the game draws heavy inspiration from Arabian mythology and the tales of the Arabian Nights. Players take on the role of the Prince of Shanadar, who embarks on a quest to thwart the evil plans of the sorcerer Ahriman and his demonic ally, Iblis. Joining him are three distinct companions: a genie, a thief, and a sage, each bringing unique skills to the party, which players can control in turn-based battles.
The gameplay in "Defenders of Oasis" features typical RPG elements, including exploration, combat, and character leveling. Unlike other RPGs of its time which opted for random battle encounters, "Defenders of Oasis" provides a fixed number of enemy encounters in each area, allowing for strategic planning and resource management. The game was notable for its engaging narrative and puzzles that needed solving to progress further. It appealed to many for its vibrant graphics and portability, making good use of the Game Gear’s capabilities to deliver a rich, colorful display. "Defenders of Oasis" remains a cherished example of early handheld RPGs, fondly remembered by those who experienced its magic on Sega's compact console.
