About
An active role-playing game released by T&E SOFT in 1984.
Fairyland is a peaceful kingdom inhabited by fairies.
One of the gems has been stolen by a human with evil intentions, awakening the demon Varalys, who is said to be the strongest in mythological legend.
The player takes on the role of Jim, a brave young man, and his objective is to restore peace to Fairyland by searching for the lost gem and defeating the demon Varalys.
Action is the key to this game.
Players switch between attack and defense modes as they fight monsters by slamming Jim into them.
This game is a pioneer of the Japanede PC fantasy RPGs of the 1980's. It is a monster title that reigned at the top of the popularity rankings in PC game magazines for a long time, with its diverse and beautifully composed fields, including plains, castles, churches, and labyrinths.
The main game and gallery screen (*Gallery) are in Japanese version.
Other menu screens and "How to play" screens are in English.

Reviews
Nintendo youtubers lied to you about this game.
<設定言語で日本語不可>となってますが、日本語でマニュアルが有ります☆僕はレトロゲームで思い出補正と買い切りで良いと思いました。ハイドライドを知らない人にも、一度はやって見て欲しいゲームと思います!
Marvellous game. Hydlide is the beginning of an unforgettable Action-RPG series lovingly brought to you by D4E on their EGGCONSOLE legacy games. A wistful back glance at a time when fantasy role playing video games were in ascendancy. The mid to late 1980s saw Japanese Role Playing games reach mass popularity both at home and internationally. I cannot recommend this game enough if you want to witness the birth of something extraordinary. As always with EGGCONSOLE user interface, navigation of menus is comprehensive and easy to use. Game can be used with either controller or keyboard. Full screen or windowed mode is changed with keys (ALT+Enter).
