Neutopia brings the Legend of Zelda style of play to the Turbo, with advanced graphics and a quest that is filled with monsters, magic, swords and surprises! You assume the role of a brave warrior who has been enlisted to save four king-doms from ruin. A dark spirit has invaded these lands of peace and stolen the sacred stones that preserve happiness. To complicate things further, a young Princess is also held captive and must be released if the power of the stones can be freed.
People say:
Neutopia is little more than a clone of Zelda from beginning to end. The play mechanics are identical, featuring eight worlds and eight dungeons to map out, the controls are identical - everything is identical! The same options exist within an environment of better graphics. Needs more originality.
Zelda lives again.. Neutopia is so close to Zelda it is virtually identical. For the Turbo the graphics are better and the mazes are new. It's a very good quest game, with a long adventure and a necessary password. It's a new category of game for the Turbo and it plays well.
Neutopia is an enhanced version of Zelda, with all of the proven play concepts thrown into a next generation environment. If you liked Zelda then you should like Neutopia, and if you hated Zelda you'll hate this game as well. I wish they would have put more features into the game.
Sure, everyone will compare this game to Zelda, but what's wrong with that? Zelda was a tremendous hit, and with the added realism afforded by the Turbo graphics, the game just gets better. True, there's not much new or original here, but if you want a 16-Bit Zelda, Neutopia is perfect!

A brand new RPG for your Turbo is on its way! Neutopia uses many familiar play mechanics that you may think are similar to Zelda and other quest adventures, but with plenty of super-charged Turbo-Grafx visuals. You must explore the Neutopian world, collecting power-up items and other enhancements that are necessary to complete your quest. Gather gold and purchase new equipments, or visit with other characters for additional information on how to complete your quest. A stunning adventure from beginning to end and a nice addition to the Turbo.
