Overview

Ray Gigant is a Japanese dungeon-crawling role-playing game. The stage of Ray Gigant is set in June of year 20xx, where the world has been destroyed by a giant creature known as the "gigant" that suddenly appeared on the planet. In battle, your party is made of three members. Unlike other dungeon-crawlers by Experience, the perspective in combat will show the backside of the characters.
