These items, such as the crossbow, grappling hook, and pulley really open the game up. The ultimate goal is to find the five Indora Gods who grant essential items for progression. The map has two parts, the overworld and the top down underworld. The land of Argool is completely open from the start, similar to Metroid. The circular diskarmor attack has been lost but it was unwieldy to use anyway. Collected mind points can be spent on three spells: power-up, attack and assail and recover.

In addition your strength increases at set “Tone” levels. You start out with 3 points of health and with experience can eventually hit twelve. First of all you have a life bar, which is a godsend. Rygar adapts a few RPG mechanics to spice up gameplay. But like that the game the journey to its conclusion is a bit frustrating.Īt least the game isn’t as rough as its arcade brethren. Rygar was one of the first to follow in Metroid’s footsteps and largely succeeds at it, unlike Section-Z. It’s very ambiguous and quite stupid but whatever. He has stolen the Door of Peace and it is up to Rygar to, I don’t know, kick his ass and open it for everlasting peace or something. Argool is under siege from the demon Liger. But go in with an open mind and you’ll find a highly enjoyable adventure that was pretty unique for its time.Īlthough it shares the same world, enemies, and some gameplay elements this version of the game is different. Action adventure games such as this were just finding their legs and so the game can be a bit rough. It was quite ambitious, especially for a game in 1987. Like Strider Rygar switched genres, becoming an expansive adventure rather than a straight action game.
