Wonder Boy In Monster World

Biomecha and an army of monsters may have everyone too terrorized to venture outside, but Wonder Boy is not so easily scared. In his epic action adventure, he travels through dark castles, underground caverns, and stratospheric strongholds, discovering secret doors and rooms full of weapons and power-ups. As he meets friends who can help, and solves puzzle after puzzle, you gradually unearth the true story of Biomecha's insidious evil.

Intricate passageways lead through mystery, secrets, and surprising plot twists. Each new weapon you collect alters your powers...and your adventures.

The RPG element comes in from the weapons and armour that you buy with money gained from slain enemies, but this is quite basic - there are only five levels of stats with a total of about 20 equippable items. You will also find various spells dotted around the place but this feature is also lacking as its you hardly ever have to to use them. The action is quite fun and easy with the difficulty only picking up with one or two of the later bosses. You move basically in one direction delivering justice personally to various cute baddies.
