A world In need of a hero
Actraisor
In a land where demons control the people and villages were no more, one hero rose to fight them off and his name was " Inset Name Here" You become the hero in this Action, Adventure game. Your job is to fight off demons while protecting and directing the townsfolk. While not guiding civilization you participate in a sidescrolling, sword battling adventure. When these two game elements come together it creates a exciting game.This game really shows how good SNES games were. When you first start the game you are assigned the task of clearing a land of monsters, this starts a sidescrolling battle. After the battle you begin directing the town, while telling the townsfolk where to build you have to shoot down demons with arrows. After you seal all the demons away you must do another sidescrolling battle. Once this battle is completed you complete your first area of the world. You continue this in 5 more areas before moving onto the boss battle. Once the boss battle has started you must kill 6 of the bosses you fought in the previous levels, then move right on to destroy the final boss. The sound in this game is equally as good. There are many different tunes for each sidescrolling level. Music for town actions fits each action appropriately. Control in this game is also nice. You must use the Gamecube controller or the Classic controller to play the game however you can not use the Wii remote. You use the Control Stick to move and other buttons to attack, confirm commands and bring up menus. The game will take you about 5-7 hours to complete, but you could easily replay through the game 2 or 3 more times without getting bored. If you do sit it down for about 5-6 months and then you will want to play it again.
Pros:
+ Mixes two different genres of games together
+ A game that has great Lastibility
Cons:
- Could have had a larger world (More the 6 levels)
Final Score: 9.5/10
