Garo: The Best Tokusatsu Game We Never Got 

If you know of an obscure action game similar to this you think I should check out leave a comment below to let me know

I just realized the perfect way to know how a hack-and-slash combat system has potential. Put Devil May Cry 3, 4, or 5 music over footage of it. If it's fitting, the system either has potential, or is good.

I recommend checking out the Kamen Rider Kabuto game, its another example of a Toku action game and its also Kabuto the best Kamen Rider.

I was not expecting Cvit to do a Video on Tokusatsu. ESPECIALLY A VIDEO ON GARO OF ALL TOKUSATSU! I LOVE IT HERE!

A unique detail about garo is that its a toku specifically aimed at matute audiences, featuring frontal female nudity, gore, horror and overall mature themes. Its also a MASSIVE franchise in japan, still getting more and more entries, anime, books and such... no games tho, unless you count the ff14 content.

I’d love a tokusatsu action game like this, but where it’s meta about it being a show. Call all the levels episodes, your audience increases as you perform better, and you can spend your points to improve the show’s “budget.” Basically this by way of Chroma Squad.

Oh, this was a pleasant surprise. I just finished the Garo series recently, and I didn't even know about this game. I'd love to see you do more tokusatsu stuff, especially for the older stuff like this.

Always love your content man, as someone kinda burnt out on AAA gaming these days I spend a lot of time on ISO websites looking for weird stuff from the PS2 Era I missed as a kid, you always put me on some wacky ass cool looking shit! Stay real.

1:35 GARO: Vanishing Line was actually pretty great for how little people watched it, pretty much journey to el dorado with giant moterbikes, swords and lions.

that design is looks sick i sure hope i can get it in a very popular mmorpg

As a huge GARO and DMC fan this game is dumb fun

A DMC-style Garo game would be epic.

To anybody here I HIGHLY RECCOMEND YOU WATCH GARO its easily one of my favorite Toku Show ever easy no 2 next to KR Build and This captures the Feel of the Show so well and its Sick nasty awesome kinda Upset at the start of the Vid it was Devils never Cry instead of Savior OF Dark but eh ig copyright is a bitch still great vid cvit cant wait for the sword of etheria vid highly underrated game with Beautiful art

Honestly Garo is probably the most underrated Toku series. It's the Blade and Hellboy of Japanese superheroes

Man i really miss garo, I really hope we get a new season real soon either a continuation of VL or something in the ryugaverse considering what happened in the jinga mini series

Honestly, I would like the next Jump Force to be like Marvel Ultimate Alliance or the first fantastic four game. Something where we can see the cool powers but also we can have a mutiplayer that isn't about beating each other up. Big roster to start with and add in some dlc you could make a great game for a couple of years too.

Sorry no cool toku action games here you'll take your annual shovelware arena fighters and you are gonna like it

Pretty interesting video. Thank you for covering this game, it looks really interesting and I'm definitely going to check it out

ZoE1 and 2 had versus mode after you beat the game, where you can play as enemies, bosses and other Orbital Frames. Silent Bomber (very underrated PS1 action game) also has versus mode where you can play as bosses, npcs and the main character. FFXIV has Garo PVP event so it was the first time I ever heard of Garo.

I pray that Keita Amemiya can still continue with the series, 'cuz I still need a continuation of Versus Road, and I think the original timeline is perfectly over. The Ryuga-verse, though, still needs a few installments here and there

I’ve never played Tokusatsu/ Super Sentai games. Every time I saw one, it was a mobile card game or a PvP fighting game. This looks sick though…

I wouldn’t mind if you talk about more tokusatsu video games, like kamen rider memory of heroes! An action game that came out on the PS4 annd switch not too long ago, and has an official English translation!(even if it would require knowledge about W, OOOs and zero one to some degree.) It’s super cool to see RU-vidrs talk about this genre even if it’s through the games! Great video.

8:07 that sounds……. AWESOME! Would be cool if more games could try to do that.

It's always nice to see a PS2 hidden gem I didn't know about. And anime games being ruined in the last two generations is super on point. If it's not One Piece or Dragon Ball, you can get fucked. No variety, everything is an arena fighter or a mobile game when exploring the world is what half these stories are about. Shouldn't shows as popular as JJK, My Hero, and Demon Slayer all have games in multiple genres by now like their dads do?

Since you played a number of tokusatsu games, have you tried any of the Ultraman Fighting Evolution games for the Playstation and PS2? They're fighting games that really capture the feel of the kaiju battles in the Ultra shows.

played this game in middle school. The Butler is my favorite of all the characters tbh

The fact that you cover this game from my favorite Tokusatsu series alone already deserving of my sub.

I would love for you to do more tokusatsu games since I have learned more things about tokusatsu, growing up with tokusatsu around me but never knowing how to get into it you're vids have got me into this culture, thank you and keep up the good vids.

Garo is probably the best series to start on when watching tokus.

Never knew any of this. And never was one for Tokusatsu, but *this*, looks sick. I'm down. Unto the endless backlog it goes.

Hopefully you look at the Kamen Rider Battride War trilogy

I never heard or played this but I remember seeing this armour in the ff 14 glamour collection site

Finally Garo is getting the respect it deserves. There is an official channel on youtube that broadcasts the episodes if you guys want to watch.

The VS mode reminded me of the much MUCH lamer PS2 Teen Titans game, which was very mashy and really really simple, but contained a VS Mode with tons of characters, including ones that didn't make it into the main campaign and it was EXTREMELY unbalanced. But fun! And even tho i always thought the game was mid at best, i spent a GOOD chunk of time playing the VS mode when i was younger.

10:46 Basically any time a Golden Knight or Mook Makai Knight faces a new enemy in the series or movie. Getting juggled and blasted away!

Bandai still makes some good tie in games just not many. It seems to be relegated to mecha anime like the Gundam games or Super Robot Wars games

Really wish we could get a really good Kamen Rider game that could potentially bring in new fans

Still got to watch Garo

What’s garou? It’s GA RO. Not GARROU

I didn't expect someone woud make this video about this game

I miss the PsX and Ps2 era. Those were the best.

There are more Garo pachinko games than regular games.

Keep up the great work👌 Any vid you do is always great ^^

A new garo game with ray tracing. His armor would be so good to look at.

started playing this game because of this video and I figured out that the heavy attack when hitting square happens if you double tap square quickly, if you want to do the regular light combo hit square once then you can start mashing once that initial attack has come out

Speaking of games that added an extra modes Star wars episode 3 which had its normal like story mode where you play through the movie, but then it had the extra fighting game mode. After you beat the campaign with both characters and you can unlock the bosses in the other Jedis as playable characters

Rata must be having a feel day on that one. Great video as always

Yeah I miss when Kamen RIder game is base on each series and you can play the monster/villian in that game as well especially Kabuto which have many character to unlock.

3:14 Is that THAT first person dreamcast game that was remade in 3rd person on PS2. I always wondered why they did that and if it made it better. The first person sword fighting was really bad since enemies knew your camera angle and hide under your view or behind you.

This game made me nostalgic. I remember playing this game when I was a kid and getting scared about various bosses😂

You should do a video on the armored core series, it seems like something right up your alley

Started this video, realised I recognised some of the armour, and then heard the word “Garo”. Yoshi P has done it again

nice, I was going to play this game last year, but now with this video I've made up my mind and will play it for sure

That DMC 3 trailer song still give me the chills. Instantly hyped to give this game a try!

Garo is amazing, sadly hard to come by the live action installments, I had to import it from the US, crossing my fingers that it wasn't actually region locked (luckily it's not). Have the first two series and the content that came between them.

I'm pretty into Tokusatsu but was never really that interested in checking out Garo, think you'd be interested in doing a video on Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroes since it's also a tokusatsu game?

This is the first video of yours I've watched (I just searched Tokusatsu games on RU-vid) I saw that you made a review on the Ghost Rider game so I def have to watch that next But also you mentioned that Kamen Rider used to have good games, which games would you recommend from that franchise?

Garo is one of the best tokusatsu that I saw, so seeing that it have a good game is refreshing.

Cool video, I'd never heard of this game before now!

12:43 that shot must've feel satsifying to pull of.

So about the square attack it happens if you rapid press the button and the timer on the armor works by adding 200 points in your timer so if you have 500 points remaning in the last level you will start the next with 700

Hey it's the game I asked you about last video haha, it really does look cool. I agree there really is a ton of arena fighters lol. Saint Seiya soldier's soul gets a pass from me though because it invented the whole trope for these kinds of super moves and it works there.

Never heard of this series or game. Off to the stormy seas I go. 🏴‍☠️👍🏽

I'm surprised we don't have a dead space retrospective from you yet

Cvit and Tokusatsu in the same sentence?! Gah Dayum!

FUCK YEAH MAKAI KNIGHT TIME

This looks sick. I've been meaning to get into GARO more recently

Having a customizable character that you eventually fight with all the moves you saved is awesome.

Golden Bat lives on...

There is a game called Urban Reign by Namco ( PS2 ) is basic Beat 'em up like Yakuza.Could you do a review

Valkyrie Profile 2. A video the Valkyrie profile series. Devil May Cry series, known for its hack and slash gameplay. After the well received performance of the Devil May Cry games. Japanese game studio Nihon Falcom, decided it use one its video game series YS. Especially YS 6 The Ark of Napatism use the fast hack and slash style from Devil May Cry as an influence of the gameplay. As an action rpg, the YS series uses experience points, an inventory system, the ability to use a restoration item only one in hand, you have buy a new restore item for preparation etc. I imagine the Devil May Cry took some inspiration from YS. The reason, YS may be considered by many gamers as important and one of very first action rpgs in history. Without the knowledge of YS, there may not have been the action rpg subgenre and even the hack and slash genre wouldn't have existed by today. That said, the importance of the YS series cannot be forgotten and not to be underestimated.

Gold armour guy i feel is the inspiration for ornstein in dark souls

My second favorite Tokusatsu, but it's a very close second. Legend Heroes is my first. But I love everything about this show

Also, man, I share your views on those new Kamen Rider games, I wish later Riders had games as cool as Garo.

Bitstep's dead, dude. Let it go. It's been 14 years since. You can also try Ultraman Nexus to aleviate the pain cause Bandai sure as shit don't fucking care. Protip : unless a game is made by Bandai Namco themselves or brings them obscene amounts of cash from publishing(case in point all the DB games) they don't give a damn. Never did, never will.

there was a kamen rider beat 'em up that came out for switch that was pretty cool.

I really enjoy listening to you talk ❤️

Last episode was aired on garo youtube channel last week(every Friday) dont know about this week or next week

I found this game from game guide book i bought. It has lot description, very detailed one. I ask for local seller to find the iso for me and yep i got hooked

Can you try to cover the 1st two Dynasty Warrior games please? They were 1v1 fighting games before they changed to a hack slash if remember correctly

Like I told you during the stream, I really love your videos, always look forward to watching them! One thing though, maybe it seems that way because I watch a lot of content covering older stuff and I can't quote you on it but it seems like you shit on newer games so much it doesn't really serve a point anymore. What I mean is at the beginning you basically say that you'd like a third person single player MHA game instead of whatever the fuck the One's Justice thing is and I get that, that makes sense and serves a point. But at 8:40 you basically just say "remember when" and if you want to stress that then sure but I mean from my point of view it seems redundant. I am watching this video of a PS2 action game precisely because I remember and I wanna know about this type of stuff. Again, this is not a deal breaker for me at all or anything I just feel like I hear this type of stuff so often recently and I just don't see the point.

For my pick, I would say Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 and FullMetal Alchemist 2 Curse of Crimson Elixir, cuz those two are pretty darn obscure as far as I know. But if you want to go with a more "obscure" in a sense that general public don't always talk, I would say .Hack G.U. (or the entire .Hack franchise) in general.

"All Super Moves video on RU-vid simulator" Lmao In a couple of generations, these super attacks will reenact entire episodes

Hi mate. Try doing gaming news aswell? Dunno... but like your voice and loved the Yu-gi-oh series review.

Cvit on a god damn grind

Damn Cvit! Where do you keep finding the GOOD JP only games? This looks like so much fun

How does this look so good

I don't really know games like this, but I do know Destrega on the PS1. It's... a little odd in that it's pretty simple and short. I mostly remember it for it's shoddy voice acting these days.

Yeah I’m shocked that there’s no other GARO games given how popular n awesomeness it is. I mean you said it best without the armor your fucked especially on hard I think 💭 that’s why the game is still to play because even though there’s not much context in it there’s this sense of realism because really do feel and fight like a Makai Knight

I still think the CGI looks good for when it came out. I'd even argue that the CGI looks better than the CGI in Kamen shows that came out later.

The overly dramatic game over sound effect always gets me everytime.

Thanks for the vid

This samurai jack mixed with power ranger and Danny phantom and dmc

Tokusatsu games market recently is pretty sad, especially for Ultraman, after years we still don't have a Fighting Evolution 4.

i love garo nice video

Am I the only one who saw "Tonkatsu" when they first read the title?

Is there a county where the last Everything wrong with Yugioh video is not banned? I am eager to watch it but every country I try with vpn it just won't work. Please help.

The armor desigh is giving me zen aku vibes

Well done mate

I wish we got a fan translation
