Tōgi Ō: King Colossus was released in Japan for the Sega MegaDrive on June 26, 1992.[1]
Critics in Famicom Tsūshin found the game similar to other contemporary games in terms of gameplay such as Ys, Romancing SaGa and The Legend of Zelda. Three reviewers in the magazine found it lacking unique features in terms of gameplay or narrative to make it stand out in this field.[1] While two reviewers found themselves wanting to play it more despite the above flaws, another said the game was too difficult to warrant a recommendation.[1]
