Huge castles, open skies, crazy rock formations. Rygar starts small in a tightly confined hallway, but his Greek mythology inspired chaotic world quickly opens up with marvelous set pieces.

Devil May Cry's castle was a claustrophobic nightmare, dark and pitted with awkward corners and a sense of actually being trapped in hell. The true allure of Rygar came from the majestic feel of its setting, though. Rygar finds three of these on his journey, and each improves with usage, so the combat never becomes too stale. Much like the NES game though, Rygar is equipped with "Diskarmor," a truly unique weapon which can best be described as a spiked shield with a retractable chain attachment. Rygar: The Legendary Adventure had all the makings of a decent new franchise for Tecmo to build on, but the game was lost amongst a cloud of better marketed titles during a time when the previous generation was finally hitting its stride.įor what it's worth, the game is a Devil May Cry clone, down to its fixed camera angles and intense combat. Tecmo tapped an NES cult classic to answer the heavy hitting action in Capcom's hot new series, Devil May Cry, and ironically, the game also became a cult hit of its time. Nothing wrong with playing a little catch up, especially for a game I would love to recommend. I missed out on last week's PlayStation 2 Classic update, but luckily they don't have anything posted this week.
