Rygar

Copyright : US Gold | Reviewed by : Satchman2000

4.5 millions years have passed since the Earths creation, and it is now dominated by strange beasts. As Rygar, you must battle your way through the savage lands and defeat the evil dominator.

Graphics

Slightly blocky graphics donâ??t detract from the gameplay of this arcade conversion, with smooth scrolling and varied beasts to slay. The backgrounds are simple, but the main gameplay area is well drawn.

Sound

Good sound design in this game, with a good â??Barbarianâ? style theme tune playing throughout. Decent thumps as you kill the bad guys, and a mocking tune when you die!

Gameplay

Rygar is essentially a simple side scrolling beat em up. This is not a bad thing, however. Run along, throwing your blade on a chain at the demons to kill them, but also use it to break open surprise vaults, leading to armour and other power ups. When jumping, you can swing your blade in a circle around you to protect you.
