Episode 62
ActRaiser is a very unique game for the Super Nintendo - It combines two extremely different gameplay styles into one impressive game. At first you'll be fighting enemies with your sword in the side scrolling action levels, but then suddenly you'll be building a city in the simulation levels - and BOTH parts of the game are equally important!
It seems obvious that the city building part of the game can make you stronger for the Actions scenes, but did you know your Score in the Action scenes is a key factor in maximizing the population of your cities? The two game modes have a truly symbiotic relationship!
So how did Enix end up publishing this game, an odd title from a brand new studio called Quintet? Most people were expecting another Dragon Warrior game, so this one was a big surprise. In this episode we'll look into the history of how this game was made and then we'll dive into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* How to find all of the hidden items, and 1-UPs in the Action Mode
* How to MAX your population in the Simulation Modes!
* Where to find ALL of the hidden Magic, Source of Magic, and Source of Life!
* Special graphics from Nintendo Power magazine!
* How to defeat EVERY Boss, even Tanzra himself!
Thanks for watching!

This was a staple of the early SNES days. The music alone could keep me coming back again and again. I normally hate the "world building" types of games, but here, it just flowed so well with the action sequences that it was actually fun for me.

I had paused watching this video to shovel snow out of our driveway (we got a blizzard yesterday), and at one point I said out loud "Hey, 'The Master', can we get some sun here to help clean this snow out?" Seconds after I said that, the clouds parted, and the day's been bright and sunny since.

@gamerboy6787 2 года назад

Always appreciate your videos. Thank you for the historical context and background you always include for every game you cover. I have the utmost amount of respect for how much time and effort it must take for you to capture footage, record the voiceover, and edit the vid together. And your vids are 2-plus hours! There are content creators bellyaching about the "grind" of making 10-minute vids, and you're out here absolutely killing it!

@DaleStrife 2 года назад

Mystical Ninja and Illusion of Gaia are in the collection! Can't wait to see those on this channel! Edit: I think the reason the two modes go so well together is because in a traditional RPG, you have the aspect of planning and preparing your characters for a dungeon or fight, then there's the execution phase. The town phase is like getting the proper levels, spells, weapons etc... and the action scenes are executing the battles and dungeons. You get money from the battles and can then go back to town to get more items. It's a back-and-forth. Edit: Kasandora has a bird in the ground in the top left. It looks the same as the one in Illusion of Gaia. Also, the statue looks very similar to Freedan. Hmmm... Edit: Harmonious music = Wild Stallions? Bill and Ted??

Enix made some amazing SNES games. Actraiser and Soul Blazer are two of my all time favourites. I didn’t know the population number during the simulation stages was impacted by total points in the action stages. Great video.

@scipio8866 "MAX" population doesn't mean you've achieved the maximum population possible... it means you've reached the maximum population based on your combined scores from Acts 1 and 2. I, too, always showed "MAX" population on every playthrough, but my most recent playthrough yielded over 50 more on Filmore alone thanks to this video.

I rented this game as a kid for my Super Nintendo and it board me out of my mind, I never understood the game nor did I give it a chance. Here we are 30+ years later and as a 42-year-old adult I just beat the game for the first time. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your help, I wasn’t even looking for your video it was a complete accident I stumbling upon this video while stumbling down the RU-vid rabbit hole. A few years back I bought the Nintendo Classic Mini which was modded to include every game and it was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made because I’ve been able to go back and play and complete games I never gave a chance as a kid.

This is one of the most underrated SNES games ever! The two styles of gameplay flowed very well together and didn't overdo each other at any point. The concept of being God and rebuilding the world is already good, but to add that how well you nurture the world is directly tied to how powerful you become in the action parts is phenomenal! The pace that you do this is just right too. Also that music score!!! I have this as a top 10 SNES game and the critics wasn't too far off at 19.

@thecunninlynguist 2 года назад

An amazing game, with fantastic music. The sequel played it a little too safe and just became an action game, but it wasn't bad. The recent remake had good intentions but fell a little flat. I hope it did well enough to actually get a new game in the series..

@JazGalaxy 2 года назад

I think that part of the success of Actraiser is the ILLUSION of a more complicated game. I think a lot of the remakes and successors want to try to actually make that more complicated game and there is nothing there. It’s a ghost note. You can’t actually make Actraiser better.

This game's a classic! The new version... I'd take the city building mode over tower defense. There's just something oddly satisfying about taking almost nothing and building it up to something to build up your power base since the more people believe in you, the stronger you grow as the deity figure of the world.

@blackpow3r Год назад

Yes! The God concept is executed perfectly in this gem of a game by starting from scratch and your power is directly tied to how well you nurtured the world. Then at the end, you cannot beat the game if you failed miserably building the world as you are not powerful enough. Love it, it flows seamlessly and you care about your world you built.

@linkiibabe 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for posting this! I played this game when it was released and have started enjoying it again thanks to emulation. As previously mentioned by others, I had no idea that your scores in the Acts affected your population total. I scoured the game's manual recently, and it gives the slightest hint that a higher score will make the game easier but that's it. I was also not aware of the structure limit in the game. In fact the game's manual stresses the importance of developing roads in every possible direction to increase the town's population. Thanks to your tips, I gained just over 200 more in population overall... THANKS!

One of my old friends, probably my best friend in high school, loved this game. He had played through it several times before we met, but the first time I went to his house was when he had bought ActRaiser 2 sight unseen. Unfortunately, the sequel, while having some good points, wasn't half the game that the original is. My friend was so disappointed that he tried to return the game, but the game shop wouldn't take it back and would only give him a little bit of store credit if he sold the game to them. He kept AR2 but rarely played it and eventually just gave it to me. My friend passed away roughly twelve years ago now, and the game is one of two things he gave me that I still have. The other is an AD&D Player's Handbook my friend has signed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson at some con in the mid-to-late 90s. I got that after my friend passed and his dad was going to trash it, but I was able to rescue it.
