Rygar in general is a pretty fun game but it makes me wish the game wasn't so buggy. The game is really easy to pick up and play but it is a pretty tough game to beat. But certainly it's worth the ride.


Graphics-6
Well it is NES, but it doesn't look horrible by any means. You at least know where you are, where everything is, and what's trying to kill you. There are some graphic glitches, such as randomly you'll see doors appear on the edges of the screen and the enemies do pop up out of nowhere sometimes, which can be pretty frustrating.

Sound-8
The sound department is where this game shines, go listen to the cave music it's really good, the music in the game really gets you pumped up for the quest your about to go on, which is fitting for an action game. Overall most of the songs are really catchy, but two songs stand out, the cave music which is really good, and the enemy castle song (not the floating castle) it's literally four notes over and over and over again until you leave. That's when you but some other music on.

Addictiveness- 7
The game is really fun so it's kind of hard to put down. I beat the game in about 4 hours or so it certainly won't leave you without a social life for days. In fact a lot of classic action games are like this, the game isn't long but it's really enjoyable.

Story- 1
What story? I mean there's kind of a story... I think? Just save the land because it's been taken over by bad guys. Simple enough, but really did you expect more of a story from a game made in 1987?

Depth-4 
Just like the story the game is pretty shallow. The over world is pretty big but there isn't a whole lot to do except going to the next tiger shrine and beating another boss. Some of the shrine areas are medium sized and allow you to explore but there really isn't a reason to. Basically, the world is big but there's very little to do

Difficulty- 9
The controls are simple and very thing is easy to do but the game still is brutal for the wrong reasons. First off, the enemies random appearing and hitting you happens way to much and when you are on the zip-lines its really hard to defend yourself. Second off, You start off with only four life points (you're still alive with zero red dots) and you can get up to 12 dots, but every time you die you start off with only three dots. Good luck trying to get the rest back, the game barely gives you any places to heal and the recover spell (its in the pause menu) needs seven stars to work. Finally, your weapon has a pretty short range. If you start jamming the A button the weapon's range gets even smaller so just don't do it. Make a rhythm and kill everything with it.

Overall- 7.7
The game is fun to play but just kind of difficult. If you are looking for a forgotten action gem play this game. I recommend a controller instead of the keyboard
