The music and Look seem amazing for the Sharp X68000 version of this game (the original version), but I can't seem to get it to work right sadly. Hopefully some day can return to this because this looks like that Ys Turbografx CD remake style vibe that I was hoping to see more of in 1990.

Beat. I did not particularly enjoy this game and in fact it was lucky that I played it all the way through. Most of the game is mediocre at best, but the ridiculously difficult and cheap bosses ruin the experience. Erratic boss movements, contact damage, atrocious range on your attacks, not allowed to use magic vs bosses and no real way to avoid damage. Even extreme save state scumming did not really help. I found the best strategy to be to flail around madly and hope the boss dies before you do, otherwise load and try again.

4.5/10

Since this...gem of a...game...has come up more than a few times recently, I feel the need to share this: the least-fitting intro music for a lousy intro for a horrible game ever conceived that manages to be utterly awesome.


(The intro itself is incredibly vague, has someone who looks like an elf chick but is actually a dude (and the only way you'll realize this is because of his heterochromia), and its length doesn't sync up with the intro music in the slightest.)
