description Azure Dreams Overview

Azure Dreams is a role-playing roguelike video game developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation in 1997, with later releases for Game Boy Color and Nintendo DS. The game combines traditional roguelike dungeon crawling with monster-raising elements, similar to the Pokémon series. Players control a young boy named Koh who explores the Monster Tower, a procedurally generated dungeon with 40 floors, to capture and raise monsters while searching for treasure and his missing father. Azure Dreams features a unique gameplay loop where the protagonist resets to level 1 each time he enters the tower, but collected monsters retain their levels.
