Dragon Warrior III

Dragon Warrior III is a top-down role-playing game where you travel around the overworld, caves, castles, cities and other locations while battling random encounters, buying equipment, and talking to people.

You and your party members receive experience when they beat up monsters and level up with enough experience, increasing their stats.

The game features a day/night cycle - as you travel, day slowly changes to night and vice versa; shops are typically closed at night.
