It's also where the beautiful Alexandra is held prisoner, facing a deadly ordeal. Can you save her? You are Yamato, incredible warrior and possessor of Magic. Your journey writhes with danger. Monstrous centipedes and grotesque spiders, frogs, and larvae wait to clutch your body and chew on your head. Can you take it? Can you stay alive while battling Flying Goblins, Ghostly Bones, and the Six-Faced Phantom? Can you reach the maniac genius Zareth before he steals Alexandra's soul? Blast your enemies with Magic! Hurl Psycho and Sonic to boggle them. Scorch them with flame! Pound them to dust with Thunder Dragon! The Castle awaits.*** [63]*** [52]*** [37]*** [27]***Nice early MegaDrive action game with impressive graphics and good music for its time. Playability and controls are ok and the player remains motivated to see all of the eight levels. In the Japanese version the hero is dressed differently as in the western versions and looks more like a fragile magician in his long robes, while he appears more figher-like in the western versions. The story is a weak point in the game, being just a "Rescue the girl and save the world" story with no developing story ingame. The Japanese version seems to have more story, at least they have a slightly longer intro scene and the game is based on a manga series. | labelimagesubject |
