It's even more fun to use it to pummel all manner of walls, statues, buildings and columns. The diskarmor strikes me as the 3D evolution of Castlevania's classic whip, and it's pretty fun to knock about mobs of enemies with the weapon's many attacks. Three variations are available, each with unique traits and uses. It's a very versatile weapon that can be swung about on its chain, latched into enemies, used to swing over gaps, and much more. Rygar's armed with a shield-like bladed disc called a diskarmor. While the game has the action / adventure framework of its ancestor, its frequent combat plays out very similarly to Devil May Cry.
It's annoying, for example, when you move Rygar over a boundary and the camera angle switches suddenly, reversing your controls mid-step. This lets the designers give you the most dramatic view of the local environment, but can prove troublesome in moment to moment gameplay. Camera angles are fixed, ala Capcom's Devil May Cry. Just like the NES version, it's an action / adventure with interesting power-ups to acquire and outlandish enemies to fight. Rygar: The Legendary Adventure is a beautiful game that plays almost as good as it looks. A normal man would have the good sense to die, but instead Rygar is awakened by an ethereal voice. A particularly ugly one casts Rygar into a pit. Worse, monsters overrun Argus and terrorize the people, as monsters are wont to do. As always happens, he fails in the protection gig and princess Harmonia gets kidnapped. He lives only to fight and to protect his princess, making him an excellent candidate for video game hero status.
The Rygar of the game's title is a powerful gladiator of Argus, who's somehow forgotten his past. It's a bit of an obscure choice, but with The Legendary Adventure I feel that Tecmo has succeeded in areas where Konami and Sega have recently stumbled. Like Shinobi, Rygar: The Legendary Adventure is not so much a sequel but a reimagining of the two original games.
#RYGAR PS2 GAME SAVES UPDATE#
Now Tecmo is trying its luck in the remake sweepstakes with an update of Rygar, a neglected franchise that dates all the way back to 1987. This has made for some pretty fun gaming over the last few months, even if titles like Contra: Shattered Soldier and Shinobi don't quite measure up to the best in their respective series. One of my favorite trends this year is the updating of classic franchises for the new generation of hardware.
