Summary

Sorcery Kindergarten enforces rigorous graduation standards. This year, only one student—six-year-old Arle Nadja—has met the requirements to sit for the final exam. To earn her diploma, she must brave the perilous Magic Tower, teeming with monsters, and recover the three elusive Magic Orbs hidden within. What challenges lie ahead for Arle in the Tower? Will she succeed in her quest, or will she be forced to repeat another year of kindergarten? Madou Monogatari I: Honoo no Sotsuenji (Sorcery Saga I: The Fiery Kindergarten Graduation) is a 1996 dungeon-crawling adventure for the PC-Engine Super CD-ROM² system. It serves as a reimagining of the first title in the Madou Monogatari series, originally created by Compile for the MSX2 computer and later adapted for multiple platforms. Each version varies significantly, with some diverging so much they feel like entirely new games. While the PC-Engine edition is rooted in the original computer versions, it introduces enhanced cutscenes, CD-quality audio, nearly full voice acting, and numerous additional events, enemies, and items.
