Item Description

Blazing Heroes is a game that needed three names to find its audience. Microcabin's tactical RPG launched in Japan as Riglord Saga in 1995, arrived in North America later that year as Mystaria: The Realms of Lore, and was reissued under the Blazing Heroes name in 1996. Under every title it is the same thing: one of the first serious strategy RPGs on the Saturn, and a good one.

Prince Aragon leads the fight to reclaim his homeland and free its people, gathering a party that can grow to twelve heroes. Battles are turn-based and play out on grids, with each character moving and acting before the enemy responds, but the objectives are not always as simple as wiping out the other side. Some fights ask you to reach a destination, others to slip past enemies rather than engage them, and that variety keeps the campaign from settling into a routine.

The skill system is the real hook. Characters learn new techniques by using the ones they already have, so a spear fighter who keeps thrusting gets better spear moves sooner, and the abilities you lean on shape what each hero becomes. The presentation was striking for 1995, with pre-rendered character sprites set on fully polygonal battlefields that can span several levels of height, and attack animations that rotate and scale in to show off the new hardware. Reviewers at the time praised its strategic depth, even if some felt the battles ran long and the story was thin.

For tactics fans, Blazing Heroes fills a real gap in the Saturn library, arriving years before Shining Force III and offering a meatier, slower-burning alternative to the console's action-heavy launch period. Its Japanese sequel never came west, which makes this the only chapter of the Riglord saga most players ever got to play in English.

About the game

You are Aragon, the prince of Mystaria. Long time ago, your father was one of the twelve mighty warriors who opposed Sith, the evil being that once tried to open the sacred portals of Mystaria. In the ultimate battle, your father was slain by Sith, but his eleven companion captured the villain and banished him, depriving him of his forces. Sith spend many years in a remote prison, until he grew powerful again. Now he came back to Mystaria and took over the kingdom. It is now up to Aragon to find eleven companions in order to be able to defeat evil again. This is a strategy RPG along the lines of Shining Force series. Your party contains twelve characters, six of which can be used in battles. The turn-based battles are long and strategic - you move your characters on the battlefield, and the force of your attack depends on the amount of previous movement made by you. You can also use a variety of magic spells to hurt many enemies at the same time.
