Bonze Adventure (1988) is a Taito action-platform game set in an Eastern-styled fantasy, where the protagonist —a young monk— crosses temples, forests, and caves facing creatures from Japanese folklore with ranged attacks.
It's a minor title within Taito's late-80s catalog, overshadowed by other offerings from the same company, but it retains that charm of detailed sprites and vivid palettes typical of the era.
