I played the OG over and over when I was younger. I'll always have a soft spot for that, but this was a great experience too. The new story elements were fun, the more advanced town developments and defenses added more flavor to an already great formula that was ahead of its time when it came out and the combat is as fluid and fun as it was then.
Just beat the core Actraiser game in ~12.5 hours. This is a "yes, but" review. Yes, I do recommend this. Actraiser is a fun game. There are 2 elements: 1) side scrolling hack and slash 2) city building with angel defense against invading demons. This is where the review is going to switch focus to the "but" with new elements in the game. For some reason, the devs felt the original SNES game needed more. They have added a number of things that I like in concept but not really a fan of in practice. The angel bow killing of demons wasn't enough for the city building side of the game, so the devs added tower defense elements. Each zone gets a legendary hero that comes with a new story. Each zone gets quests, which it kind of had before but there are added elements to match the tower defense. The cities, if you wait long enough for building or growth, now can be raided randomly by demon portals. What these things have done is extended your game play and added more to the original SNES game. Is that good? Meh. None of these additions were poorly thought out or added without real thought to the design. But, it artificially extends the game with things that just weren't needed. Additionally, there is now a bonus level. Is it more to play for a fantastic game? Yes. Is it good? Not really - it's just more of the same tower defense city building with a new boss. In theory, more content isn't bad but it just didn't need to be done. Actraiser was a great game before. If they had just redone the graphics or cleaned up combat, it still would have been an awesome remake. So, these new elements can be frustrating as you are slowed by the tower defense requirements. The new legendary heroes and story additions aren't bad, but it just doesn't add a whole lot to the game. The story for each zone and the residents were fine before. So, I'll recommend yes, but wait until it's on a steep sale. Again, the game is great and I like Actraiser but this version isn't significantly better or worse than the original. Go play the SNES version if you want to see a classic, but check this out if you just want more.
The overworld gameplay loop is pretty simple and fun and the additional characters and story elements are an improvement from the SNES game from over thirty years ago. The side scrolling segments are also simple and fun but the characters and monsters are just so ugly. 3D renders that look bad to me instead of just making good quality sprite work. I'd recommend picking this up on sale if you have nostalgia for the orignal. Playing it on Steam Deck OLED.
Headline: More than just a nostalgia trip – I couldn't put it down. I’ll be honest: the initial price tag kept me away for a while. I finally snagged it for 1/3 of the price during the Winter Sale, thinking it would be a quick, small investment to kill some time. I didn't expect it to completely take over my gaming schedule. The Gameplay: You play as a god-like protector, balancing high-speed action with society-building. Movement feels fluid, and while some magic attacks are admittedly OP, they are visually stunning and provide helpful buffs that make you feel truly powerful. The New Additions: The Story: 28 years after the original, the world-building here is fantastic. I was deeply enthralled by the personalities and the relationships between characters. The Heroes: Renaissance introduces legendary heroes. While some regional placements feel a bit odd, their inclusion adds a great layer to the narrative. The Mechanics: The tower-defense and town development aspects could use a little more polish, but they are completely doable and satisfying once you get the hang of it. Verdict: The bosses aren't punishingly difficult—as long as you pay attention, you'll figure them out. If you like a mix of action and strategy with a story that actually makes you care, don’t sleep on this one (especially on sale).
