Post by: Don Flamenco on April 24, 2009, 01:37:00 PM: action + mild shmup elements + sim city. i mean wow

the action segments are tough as hell too. like old school castlevania, though maybe even harder.

Post by: Akala on April 24, 2009, 01:41:02 PM: I loved Actraiser...until it was rolling crush'd by my love of SoulBlazer/Blader. I also really dug on the Dark Cloud games. :-\

The 'create/rebuild' ARPG needs to make a comeback.

Post by: Don Flamenco on April 28, 2009, 12:24:03 AM: Whoops, I guess using lightning on pissed off villagers doesn't really solve their problems. the side scroller sections are starting to get pretty tough (I'm on the desert world now.)

I think most people agree. It didn't really gel with me though. Not really sure why.
Title: Re: actraiser rules
Post by: Don Flamenco on April 28, 2009, 01:22:04 AM: damn, I was excited that soul blazer was also a sim city/side-scrolling kinda game. I guess Actraiser really is one of a kind.

Does the sequel at least live up to Actraiser 1's side-scrolling segments?
Title: Re: actraiser rules
Post by: Bildi on April 28, 2009, 01:37:27 AM: I never played it but I heard Actraiser 2 was rubbish. Not sure if that's in relation to Actraiser 1 (in which case most things are rubbish), or just generally.

It almost got me back in the day. I think I had bought a game just before it came out or something, so I had to rent it.

I remember some magazine totally hyping it up prerelease. EGM? NP? Who knows.
