Dragon Slayer

Dragon Slayer Series

Regarded as one of the progenitors of the action RPG genre in Japan, Dragon Slayer is a dungeon crawler RPG that was entirely real-time, with action-oriented combat where the player bumps into enemies to attack them. It features an in-game map to help with the dungeon-crawling, required item management due to the inventory being limited to one item at a time, and introduced the use of item-based puzzles.
