ActRaiser 2 is a side-scrolling platform game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System developed by Quintet and published by Enix in 1993. The game is a sequel to the original ActRaiser, but the storyline is not directly connected to its predecessor; however, many plot details suggest that ActRaiser 2 may actually be set before the events of the original ActRaiser, or takes place in another universe entirely. Otherwise, the given story draws concepts from the famous religious epics Paradise Lost and the Divine Comedy. Unlike the original game, which alternately combined platform game sequences and god game sequences, ActRaiser 2 is only a platform game. Read less

Beat on normal. This game has some of the worst platforming I have ever seen. I had to check a walkthrough to find out that a jump was actually possible and while I was there I learned how to use magic. The game's help screen completely fails to mention magic and this game fails to make use of many of the controller buttons. The game is excessively difficult due to poor controls, unforgiving platforming, respawning enemies and tough bosses. I especially hated the boss fights that also include platforming, with instant death for failure.

I liked the visuals, font and music; reminded me of Ogre Battle. I was also impressed with the super power you get at the final level; I was not expecting that.
