Game Description

“ActRaiser” is an action-adventure game that was developed by Quintet and published by Enix (now Square Enix). It was originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1990. The game is known for its unique combination of side-scrolling action sequences and simulation-style city-building gameplay.

Key features of “ActRaiser” include:

  1. Dual Gameplay Modes: “ActRaiser” features two distinct gameplay modes that alternate throughout the game: Action and Simulation.

  2. Action Sequences: In the Action mode, players control the protagonist, known as the Master, who is an angelic being sent by a deity to defeat monsters and enemies in side-scrolling levels. The Master wields a sword and can perform various attacks and maneuvers.

  3. Simulation Mode: In the Simulation mode, players take on the role of the Master as a deity overseeing the growth and development of a civilization. Players manipulate the terrain, guide the people, and direct them in building cities, roads, and structures. The goal is to restore the world and protect the people from evil forces.

  4. City-Building: In the Simulation mode, players manage resources, oversee construction, and guide the population’s growth. Constructing buildings and improving the quality of life for the people can lead to better protection against monsters and a stronger civilization.

  5. Storyline: The game’s story involves the Master’s mission to defeat the demon Tanzra and his minions who have taken over the world. The Master’s efforts involve both cleansing the land of monsters through action and helping the civilization flourish through simulation.

  6. Soundtrack: “ActRaiser” is notable for its memorable soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro. The music blends orchestral and electronic elements and has been praised for its quality and emotional impact.

  7. Visual Style: The game features detailed pixel art graphics for both the action and simulation segments, contributing to its nostalgic appeal.

“ActRaiser” received positive reviews upon its release for its innovative blend of genres and its engaging gameplay. It is often regarded as a classic title that combines action, simulation, and storytelling in a unique and memorable way. The game’s success led to the creation of a sequel, “ActRaiser 2,” although the sequel shifted the gameplay focus more towards action and removed the city-building simulation elements.
