Brandish VT (the âVTâ officially stands for Victimâs Tower) is Nihon Falcomâs fourth and final PC-98 entry in the dungeon-crawler series.
It shipped in Japan on 4 October 1996 for the PC-9801/9821 family, in two packages: an HD-install-only CD-ROM and an 8 Ă 3.5-inch floppy set.
Built on the same 256-colour âRenewalâ engine but rendered in a new isometric view, VT drops the old Ares-and-Dela cast and instead follows five separate protagonists, each tackling a slice of the gigantic, multi-layered Victimâs Tower. Players still steer the hero entirely with the mouseâclick to walk, turn, block, cast or swingâyet the sequel adds auto-map, route-memo and even a quickâpath auto-move that fans praised as the seriesâ smoothest quality-of-life pass.
Falcom bundled a fresh Falcom Sound Team J.D.K. score on the disc (FM/MIDI or streamed CD-DA) and tightened combat with faster weapon draw and smarter enemy path-finding. The Windows-95 port that followed in 1998 was renamed Brandish 4: Tower of the Sleeping God, but the PC-98 original remains the least-tweaked, mouse-driven version.
