Rejoice: Aretha Ōkoku no Kanata (リジョイス〜アレサ王国の彼方〜, lit. "Beyond the kingdom - Rejoice - Aretha") is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game that was released in 1995 to an exclusively Japanese market.

Summary

The game is a role-playing game about four thieves who live in a village together with some serious and some comedic content.[4] They rob people and explore ancient ruins in search for treasure.[4] A flood wiped away the villagers and Trezno (one of the thieves) washed up on a seashore somewhere.[4] The Demon King Howard has kidnapped Trezno for his own nefarious plans and the rest of the thieves must stop his evolving plan.[4] Monsters roam the playing field and players must defeat them with weapons charged with elemental magic.[4] Players can command their player to jump like in a platforming game.[4] However, it is completely optional to gameplay and only needed when dodging attacks.[4]

Reception

On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the game a 23 out of 40.[5]
