Item Description

ActRaiser 2 makes a bold call before you've swung a sword: the city-building is gone. Quintet's 1993 sequel takes the Master, the divine warrior from the original ActRaiser, and builds an entire game around the part of that first adventure players remembered most vividly, the side-scrolling battles against monsters and demons. It is leaner, darker and far more demanding, a sequel that trusts you to want nothing but the fight.

This time the Master has wings, and they change everything. He can leap, glide and dive through the air, so stages become as much about reading the space above the ground as the ground itself: swooping over pits, dropping onto enemies from above and lining up aerial strikes against bosses that dwarf him. A shield lets him block incoming attacks, and magic spells add another layer, so fights reward patience and positioning far more than frantic button presses. Once the flight controls click, few SNES action games feel as satisfying to move through.

The story pulls from Milton's Paradise Lost and Dante's Divine Comedy, and the presentation follows it into heavy gothic territory, with large, detailed sprites, grim landscapes and screen-filling bosses that look like they climbed out of an illuminated manuscript gone wrong. Yuzo Koshiro returns from the first game to score the sequel, and his grand, orchestral-style themes give the whole thing a sense of scale that matches the Master's divine mission.

Its reputation for difficulty is earned. Enemy placement is unforgiving, bosses expect you to learn their patterns, and careless jumps are punished fast. That is exactly the appeal for players who enjoy mastering a tough 16-bit action game, and it makes a fascinating companion to the original: the same studio, the same hero and the same composer, but a completely different answer to the question of what ActRaiser should be. Fans of Quintet's other SNES adventures, Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia, will recognize the ambition here in a very different, sword-in-hand shape, best experienced on the console it was made for.

About the game

ActRaiser 2 is a side-scrolling platform game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System developed by Quintet and published by Enix in 1993. The game is a sequel to the original ActRaiser, but the storyline is not directly connected to its predecessor; however, many plot details suggest that ActRaiser 2 may actually be set before the events of the original ActRaiser, or takes place in another universe entirely. Otherwise, the given story draws concepts from the famous religious epics Paradise Lost and the Divine Comedy. Unlike the original game, which alternately combined platform game sequences and god game sequences, ActRaiser 2 is only a platform game.
