Act Raiser
One of a kindGenre: action - hack n slash
Publisher: Enix
Year: 1991
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
Has two distinct styles - action platformer and top-down city building Gameplay is greater than the sum of its parts. Platformer gameplay is tight if a little stiff - gotta take your time Hitboxes all make sense unlike the sequel Big sweeping sword makes it easy to hit all enemies both high and low - no cheap hits here. Excellent controls in the top-down levels. Enormous grid makes it easy to target your god-like attacks.
Level Design Score: 5
Level Design Notes:
Great level design - lots of variety and very notable and memorable stages. RTS levels are fun diversions and make the game an unforgettable experience.
Theme Score: 5
Theme Notes:
Narrative is affecting with small scale concerns of the people - pretty deep spiritual stuff that somehow got the greenlight from Nintendo's censors
