Grand Master is an action-RPG for the Famicom. It features a Western fantasy theme, and while the story might be cliché, it is told through multiple story branches the player can discover which was a very forward thinking idea at the time. The gameplay is pretty solid as well and almost feels like an NES version of Link to the Past.

One of the things that stands out immediately is the opening intro. If you were only to look at the story during the intro, you'd see a generic scene with a knight, princess and bad guy. Who cares, right? But the story in itself is not everything. How a story is told is just as important if not more and can really make or break the whole experience. Featuring a series of unique anime-styled cutscenes complete with slick transitions and catchy music/sound, the intro is quite striking and sets the tone nicely for this gem of a game.
