Danan the Jungle Fighter for Sega Master System - Review | hungrygoriya

[@thoja]

This is one of the games I got when I started collecting SMS games again, back in 1998. I hadn't heard good reviews about it at all, and I finally gave it a shot one rainy afternoon. I was able to beat the game on my first try, which felt great because I pretty much suck at videogames and I don't have the time or patience I used to have when I was a kid, so it was a great experience overall. Danan is now one of my favorite "unknown gems" for the SMS. Great accurate review and love your videos! :)

[@hungrygoriya]

It's great to hear from someone who knows this game well! Congratulations on making it through on your first try! That's an accomplishment. I got destroyed on the second boss and the guy that drops all the bombs like crazy a couple of times each, so that was a bummer. And thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos :)

[@leethompson-kolar6333]

Those swimming sections are hilarious! Too much fun for mere mortals, haha.

[@hungrygoriya]

I was cracking UP the whole time. It's so silly how he's animated there!

[@willmistretta]

Very Jungle King with the swim and stab action.

[@HybridAngelZero]

One again, you pull out a Master System game I've never heard of, I love learning more about the system's library, even of this one ended up being a little mixed. It would have made an awesome early-90s manga tho. And I may have some insight into the out of place quotation marks: in Japanese text, especially in games at the time, it's common to use brackets like 「this」to denote important words or names, there really isn't a direct equal to this in English, so I feel the localization team subbed in quotation marks as the closest English equivalent [DISCLAIMER: I am not a native Japanese speaker, I am only studying the language, if I'm incorrect, someone please let me know]

[@hungrygoriya]

I'm doing my best to fill in the gaps out there! I couldn't find much else in video form on this game so I wanted to put something together despite its weirdness. And it would've been a great manga or a movie for sure... there's so much good plot to draw from!

[@flrpitflrp1965]

WOW, I have not heard of this before. I thought I would of at least remember seeing the box before. Nice

[@hungrygoriya]

I hadn't heard about it at all either until I really started digging into people's top game lists for the system. It seems to fly under the radar for the most part!

[@Miakel]

Great review! Always enjoy your Master System reviews. I actually do not have this one even though I am in a PAL country. It is a rarer game so it's a bit pricey. But I still will hopefully get it if the price is right.

[@Darko1226]

Keep covering more master system! It’s hard to find quality videos like you put out on the master system!

[@hungrygoriya]

I will do my best to keep finding and delivering more Master System content. Thank you :)

[@oyonan]

I’ve had this picture for years, and wondered whether or not it was an actual screenshot from a real game or just something mocked up. It’s danan and Linda, with a text box that reads “life for life’s sake has no value without honour.” I always thought that was a really worthwhile thought, and I’ve used it in a variety of ways. I’m really excited to see not only where it originated from, but also that whoever made the game seems to have had more on their minds than just pounding out another simple action game. I really need to get some master system games together and finally give them a try!

[@hungrygoriya]

Do itttt! :) Yeah, this game was surprisingly deep in the story department. A little convoluted at times, but full of these huge, profound statements like the example you mentioned. It's nice and short. I hope you enjoy it!

[@TheReNesance]

This seems like yet another game that would've driven me bonkers, but you calmly waltzed through and finished in beastly fashion. Great work, and another nice review :)

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah, I won't say I came away from this one feeling super jolly or anything. I got a little further each time, which made me happy at the end of the day. I think you'd destroy this game in one shot though... you've got what it takes!

[@Larry]

Out of curiosity, do you feel this game might have been pitched as a Tarzan, or naybe even a Conan game? It just hits a lot of beats with both properties.

[@hungrygoriya]

Potentially, at least for the physical aesthetic of the main character. I think the only weird fit would be the plot with respect to Tarzan. I could definitely feel it fitting in better with Conan.

[@Larry]

@@hungrygoriya Indeed, the lack of any rope swinging was what made me second guess Tarzan. But Sega have done it countless times in the past, there's several SMS games that were originally anime licenses in Japan, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World started out development as a Dragon Ball game!

[@hungrygoriya]

@@Larry Yeah totally! There's definitely a way to foist a property unto something else that's similar enough. I could totally see either of the ones you mentioned broadly applying to Danan, animal friends included!

[@BoluzB2]

What i recently found out is that there are statues of the (Akkadian and Mesopotamian) demon Pazuzu. Also used in the Exorcist. Very weird addition in the final level of the game.

[@hungrygoriya]

Very spooky! Wow!

[@maximpact24]

Great review of a game I've never heard of. Although the buff guy looks similar to Rastan, it doesn't seem quite as fun as that one.

[@hungrygoriya]

Thanks! I have yet to play Rastan so maybe it's better I started with this one :)

[@m.x.1800]

Glad to see a new vid uploaded! Seems like it's been awhile :D Also, I've never heard of this one, but I'm certain that the tunes in the first half of the vid were from wonderboy in monster land. Thanks for sharing!

[@hungrygoriya]

Sorry to keep you waiting! I think I'm averaging about 3 weeks between videos, which is awfully slow, but I'm doing my best! And yeah, the soundtrack from Danan the Jungle Fighter was not too great. I threw in a little from Wonder Boy since their styles were similar. I kept the music to the games in the photo at the beginning of the video!

[@kainemaxwell]

This game was special to watch. I love your reviews.

[@hungrygoriya]

Too kind! Thank you!

[@LindaTheGAMERGal]

Great review! I can't remember playing this game and now this is going to be played over the weekend. Thank you.

[@hungrygoriya]

Enjoy! Let me know how it goes!

[@alejandroaguilar4693]

The pixel art on this looks better than most early Genesis and SNES games, the SMS was terribly underrated.

[@hungrygoriya]

It's a very nice-looking game, agreed!

[@edr777]

I really enjoy your reviews of these quirky games that I've never heard of. This one looks like a strange combination of Conan and Beastmaster...that's some 80s nostalgia overload! It took me many years to confront my bias of Sega games (grew up in a Nintendo family, lol)...I had no idea there were so many classics like this one. :)

[@hungrygoriya]

Beastmaster eh? I'll have to look into that... never heard of it before! And I hear ya... I grew up with very few games for NES and Genesis, and it's only now that I'm getting to learn of and play through some of these little nuggets. Thanks for coming along on the ride with me.

[@BudStudmuffin]

"Linda is ...weird" Something about that delivery cracks me up

[@Oysterblade84]

It's an action Platformer with a heavy amount of text and conversations that beefs up the story line to give you this false illusion that your character is in for one hell of a fight when in reality the game's ending and story fizzles out 5 times as quick as when the story opens in the beginning. I have not played Danan for a very long time but I had a go at it today and managed to just make it to the end in one sitting and finish it. I had only 1 health number remaining on my last try. I remembered with the stage 2 boss, (the Moralos Clan leader) there was a trick to hitting him, you have to jump over him and give him a slash otherwise he just blocks all your stabs with his battle shield. The stage 3 boss was easy, the guy that gave his life to Emperor Wolf in the ship, he swoops down every now and then for a free hit at him. It's an okay action/platformer probably rate it 6 out of 10, it's not a bad game but by no means is it great and it's fairly short.

[@hungrygoriya]

It really wasn't a hard game at all. I also finished it in one sitting, but it at least creates something a little deeper than a pure action game with no story excerpts.

[@rvfiasco]

I think the Master System definitely has some nifty gems in it's library. It still has a place in my heart along with the Saturn. I'd say in my gaming "Career" I probably completed only 20 games for the Platform originally. Unlike the couple hundred for the NES. It had great colors and a nifty music chip. Ahh...those were the days. I miss them, honestly. Great video! I'm really vibing with your channel and personality. KZbin is great!

[@hungrygoriya]

I'm very late to the Master System party, but I'm glad I finally arrived at least. I've really enjoyed what I've played so far. I grew up with an NES and a Genesis but didn't have many games, so I'm just really starting to dive in at this point in life. It's been fun! And thanks about the channel. I appreciate it :)

[@rubenmejia4881]

You've gained a new subscriber! I can sure appreciate your love for the master system. Its the first console I've owned and only had the pack in game hang on / safari hunt. Its nice to see so many gems on your channel. During that time I wish I would have known about so many great titles, I only got games were twice a year birthdays & Christmas but shortly after Nintendo came over and took over in my house.

[@hungrygoriya]

It was the same on my end, except with NES games on birthdays and other holidays. I'm so glad I discovered the Master System, and I'm happy to bring more of that to this platform... there aren't a ton of channels that talk about it, and I wish there were!

[@rubenmejia4881]

@@hungrygoriya Agreed! Have you ever considered playing & doing a video on Startropics for the NES?

[@Shamazya]

Really nice sprite work on Danan!

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah he looks great! I wish he wasn't so tall though!

[@sarysa]

I can explain the weird quotes thing. In many Japanese games, important objects, places, and even people may be in their version of quotes. (i.e. 「ダナン」) This is done mainly to help with readability, much like the addition of spaces or punctuation which are also not native to Japanese. It's a well accepted practice that comes across as odd in a literal translation.

[@hungrygoriya]

Ah gotcha! Thanks for the explanation.

[@chutton988]

Thanks for the entertaining and very funny review!

[@andersdenkend]

I never even heard about this game. Looks pretty great actually. Gotta check it out some day.

[@hungrygoriya]

Enjoy it when you do!

[@ArchjSM]

Played it all the time as a kid! At first i usually died on the first boss, and when i got better i always died on the second. I can't remember the third stage, so I can't have beaten him many times.

[@hungrygoriya]

The boss difficulty's all over the place! I could totally understand if you didn't consistently get too far in this one.

[@MrSeanface]

Where do you get ypur patience haha. I play these games alot but ill die for a while on one and just continue it next week once its been a bit. Eventually I learn the game. Thats how I finally beat ninja Gaiden. You sit and just push through the frustration. Its super impressive. Thanks for these Hungry, love your reviews. : )

[@hungrygoriya]

Hey thanks! I don't know where I get the patience from honestly... it's just something I seem to have in droves and I have no explanation for it! But thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel :)

[@interghost]

Another great video review. Ive subbed now so looking froward to more. And will check out more older videos. Looks a bit strange they went futuristic in this fantasy style game. Looks like a super hard game. I might not have the patients for this one.

[@hungrygoriya]

I found it pretty tough, especially some of the boss fights. Once you find the pattern though, the game's extremely short!

[@interghost]

@@hungrygoriya Thats good to hear. I dont mind a game where you get further each time you play it. As long as its not like 3 or 4 hrs each time lol. Cheers ;)

[@ravinnox2640]

as a life long Tarzan fan this was one SMS game I had sought out, and I enjoyed it well enough but it has so many faults and was hard to find and rather expensive when you do. All those things combined put it in the "I like it but I can't recommend it" list

[@PragmatikReviews]

It's good to know Danan has a few animal buddies on his side. I like how the developers didn't do much to account for your characters larger size. Though I gotta say, A one shot run kinda feels stressful. At least it's not terribly long! Thanks for yet another game to consider getting!

[@PragmatikReviews]

Oh, I'm writing as I'm watching, but man I agree with villains having their own objectives rather than being ordered. Added a few more points to this game. This is a feature games can seriously learn from.

[@hungrygoriya]

@@PragmatikReviews Having a little bit of depth never hurts, right? It was a really crazy story packed into such a tiny game! The one shot-ness of this game is intimidating at first, but it wasn't too bad with a little practice. If I can do it, anyone can!

[@oodo2908]

First hero I've seen in any media who mains a knife.

[@hungrygoriya]

I can't think of anyone else that does, except for Feena from Grandia. Or maybe she uses daggers...

[@Dongled]

The lack of a distance attack is pretty frustrating, indeed. I've never heard of this one! Kinda seems like a weird cross between Astyanax and Castlevania. The graphics are actually pretty impressive! Tons of vibrant colors is no surprise for the SMS but the level of detail is quite awesome on the sprites! Nice review!

[@hungrygoriya]

When I first saw gameplay, I was hoping that it'd be more like Faxanadu. It looked like it had story to a much greater degree than it actually does... but you're right. It definitely looks and probably feels a lot like Astyanax. I hadn't thought of that one until you mentioned it! And thank you :) I am loving exploring this library.

[@Mikebloke]

That pixel art looks nice, looks like it's from something stronger like the turbografx, or amiga/amstrad, the levels look simple but it's layout looks tight, not like the usual stuff you see master system or nes.

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah it's definitely a nice-looking game overall, especially the backgrounds in the outdoor areas. There were lots of sprite details too... I certainly didn't feel bored looking at it, that's for sure!

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

Oh man, I still have to play this one! I loved games like Astyanax, Valis and Rastan back in the day and I definitely still like playing 'em occasionally today, so I'm always looking for ones I've not heard of. In the last couple of years, I've played Cadash, Legendary Axe and Alisia Dragoon trying to find more of these types of games - if it's not a tedious indie Metroidvania, and it stars some badass fantasy warriors on an epic quest wherein they have to hack and slash their way through loads of magical creatures and monsters, I want to play it... even if it's not quite good enough to achieve "cult classic" status, like it sounds Danan doesn't. Still, it definitely seems good _enough_ to check out for for a retro fantasy action junkie like me. This and Dahna: Megami Tenjou are probably next on my sidescrolling fantasy hack-and-slash "To Get" list, so I'm glad this review reminded me it existed :)

[@hungrygoriya]

Hooray! Add this one to the list because it definitely fits the bill for you! You've given me some great ideas for a list of my own. All the best in your adventure! You know where to find me if you have questions :D

[@jakek5417]

Looks like budget Conan... please give that man a sword! I recently purchased a SMS and it is great that you are one of the few youtubers covering it. As a fellow north american it is great fun to explore a system that was virtually non-existent when I was a little kid. Do you use the stock controllers? Both of my SMS d-pads are total mush, so I use a Genesis controller instead. Thanks for the great videos!

[@Miakel]

Always use Genesis controller

[@Mikebloke]

What do people do to their controllers that destroy them so much :o :p

[@Miakel]

@@Mikebloke I just find the Genesis controller more comftable to use. Mine actually works fine but I have a Genesis with Master System Converter so I just have the Genesis controller in all the time on that system

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you very much! I'm having a blast wading through the library and I'm glad to bring these games into the spotlight too... they're worth it! I always play with the stock controllers, yeah. The only time I seem to sub in something more modern is when I'm playing Atari because the joysticks don't play so well in my lap. Have you thought about opening yours up and checking out the rubber pads? Maybe they need to be replaced.

[@hungrygoriya]

Oh like the Power Base Converter? That's cool! I've always wanted to see if playing one one of those would make much of a difference in graphics at all. I just play on the original system so I use a regular SMS controller.

[@budfuggins639]

The song playing at the 5:22 mark is the same song from the Genesis version of Ghouls and Ghosts.

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah! This game didn't have much music variety so I borrowed from other games a little bit. I think I put the Master System's Ghouls 'n Ghosts version in here.

[@budfuggins639]

Ahhh, that makes sense why I recognized the tune, albeit from a different console. Love your videos! So good!

[@hungrygoriya]

@@budfuggins639 Aww thank you :) I appreciate it!

Yoga will help to balance out all that lifting he does! And you're very welcome. Thanks for watching :)

Ha!

[@RaginKavu]

Quotation marks are used in Japanese, and most Asian languages to mark important words, to tell the reader it's where they should focus. Like we in the West use bold fonts, or change text colour. Brackets [ ] are generally used in Japanese games, while in France thei use a stylezed quotation mark ‹‹ ›› , like those.

[@EbenezerEibenhardt]

LoL I was just watching a playthrough and noted how weird it made the dialogue feel in english. It's like... Danan: I'll have to stay here and guard "Gilbas" seal, if that even is his real name. Linda: I suppose greed never really dies. Would you like me to stay with you here, "Danan", if that even is your real name? Danan: I've grown accustomed to your company, "Linda"... if that even is your real name, so sure. Let's go.

[@justavian]

Holy cow, look at that hitbox at 3:03! You were like 3 feet away from that guy - just the threat of being stabbed caused the bad guy to take damage! And of course, just before that, you stabbed someone and touched them with your hand while the knife is buried in the baddie's stomach - oops, that hurt you! With the huge swings in boss difficulty, it makes it seem like this was a school project that got last minute funding. Fun, but completely unpolished, and possibly based on a foundation that doesn't really make sense.

[@hungrygoriya]

It's certainly a game, I can say that much! This is what Cadash actually reminded me of quite a bit in a lot of ways. They have a lot in common for sure!

[@michaelselley3211]

I was so pumped for this as a kid- nagged my dad into getting it as soon as it came out! Took it home, finished it on my first playthrough....was kinda super disappointed :\

[@hungrygoriya]

I can understand that. It's such a short game! I had that exact same experience when I played it as well despite being intrigued by the story somewhat

[@RicardoSavino]

And again you present us with a new obscure game from the 80's. You are a wealth of good stuff! Thanks, girl!!

[@hungrygoriya]

Awww thanks! I'm glad I could bring this to the people :) A friend actually recommended it to me, so I have him to thank for making me aware of its existence. Otherwise, I would've thought this was just a Golden Axe ripoff or something!

[@lucasbertero2671]

At first I got so frustrated with this game. I always ended up running in circles..finally beat it.It's a great game makes want to keep going. This console is full of good games. I love Golden Axe Warrior, such an awesome game as well. Really good video! Saludos, me suscribo!

[@hungrygoriya]

Thanks for subscribing :) I'm glad you finally made it through... this was definitely a tricky game to learn, but once you know where to go, it's not so bad. And I LOVED Golden Axe Warrior. It's definitely a favourite of mine on the system!

[@jwrush]

Danaan needs to take a yoga class for sure.

[@hungrygoriya]

If he'd just improve his range of motion, this game would be much easier :D

[@BeyondTheScanlines]

I'll admit the name kind of made me think it wasn't going to be quite as layered when it came to its narrative. But that whole mechanic with its time kind of makes it feel like a poorer Wonderboy in Monsterland. At least in the sense that it's kind of interesting, but some of those mechanics (like the time limit) make it sound a tad painful to play when starting out (which you certainly highlighted). Who knows… maybe if I see it as a cheap find I'll check it out :)

[@hungrygoriya]

You know, I went the other way... in the clips of gameplay I watched before buying, I was excited to see so much story there and was hoping for a longer adventure with more complexities than what this turned out to be. I didn't pay any attention to a timer then... I hope you can find a deal on it! It tends to be a little pricey but I snagged a cart-only copy for about $23 and pounced. Cheaper deals do come up.

[@TheMultiGunMan]

I don't like the fact that the game has a timer. It bugs me for some reason.

[@hungrygoriya]

Thankfully it didn't become too big of a problem unless I really went off the beaten path, or tried backtracking.

[@MiserablePyre]

good call on the nes rambo music

[@hungrygoriya]

It's a very catchy tune and definitely seemed fitting for this hero, haha

[@julesgamergourmand]

We can imagine that Rastan is Conan, that Danan is Tarzan but where is Rahan? They have all the common points of having their names ending in "an" and that they are all three in their underwear.

[@hungrygoriya]

You raise an excellent point.

[@Phantasystar77]

Great stuff as usual :)

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you again for recommending this to me! :) I would've never know it existed without you.

[@cardinalStiefel]

I love how this game transition from fighting amazons in the jungle to fighiting nazis on a submarine. Not the best SMS game, but it was fun and enjoyable, I have fond memories of this. Have you ever tried Kenseiden? It's an action game with a samurai setting, I think you may like it.

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah it was a fun one! Kenseiden is in my collection but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. If it's similar to this, I'll definitely enjoy it! Thank you for reminding me about it.

[@musicryandave]

Great video! Thanks.

[@hungrygoriya]

Thanks for stopping in.

[@backinthedaygamer]

That’s too bad I was hoping to move another great SMS game to the top of my list. I hate when your weapon is a tiny little knife. Thanks for the heads up lol

[@hungrygoriya]

Each knife is only as big as the last one too... it's a bit of a bummer! I'd still recommend playing it, but it's really short and quite easy overall. Depends on what you're after I suppose! Thanks for watching!

[@StRoRo]

I wonder with your comments about the game speed and the fact the vast majority of the master system's popularity was in Europe and Brazil (PAL regions) that the game was designed for PAL consoles and just sold to NTSC regions with little or no optimisation.

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah, this game definitely didn't get released in the NTSC format at all. Your guess is as good as mine!

[@bradleyadams4496]

After each mission, you are warned to not undergo the next course unless you have sufficient endurance. You'll have to start from the beginning of your last opportunity to save and, what's worse, points are deducted for not accomplishing the pass with your first try.

[@johnpettigrew3056]

I played and finished this game and I liked it but I don't think I ever really understood the story or what the heck was going on 😂 Good game though

[@hungrygoriya]

There's a loooot of story here. Some of it coherent, some of it not so much! I liked it, but just wish it was a little longer.

[@johnpettigrew3056]

@@hungrygoriya I found that one "ROM Surfing" it's a good game to kill a few hours on. I've never seen it in person and a lot of the SMS stuff is like that. Nobody rented it and only a few retailers carried SMS. I wanted Phantasy Star so bad that it drove me crazy but even when I had Birthday or Christmas money, it wasn't anywhere to get 😆

[@Njuregen]

Trains harder get strong as Conan and specialized in pocket knives. Get girl in a red skirt to dig a hole to catch him (unwanted love interest?). The 1 life and tiny knife would've made me scream as a kid, a shame they never expanded it as it feels like a sword or ax might suit well. I also saw you stabbing amazons in the leg and that not even does damage?

[@hungrygoriya]

Having anything but the tiniest knife in the world to fight with would've made this game a lot more fun, but maybe a bit too easy. It's a pretty short game as it is. The hit boxes on some of those enemies are pretty questionable. You have to get super close to stuff to have any effect!

[@AnxietyMentor]

I had this game but i really did not like it at all. Good to see this for nostalgic purposes though. Thanks.

[@hungrygoriya]

My pleasure! It's short and a little clunky in places but it's okay for what it was. I liked figuring out the bosses.

[@NefariousWes]

Your voice over has really improved. I take it that this game has lousy music since I heard some Rambo and Ghouls'n Ghosts tunes in there. The graphics are great, but other than that, this game doesn't sound very good. When was it released?

[@hungrygoriya]

Thanks! The music that was there was really mixed, and there wasn't a lot of it. I threw in music from the games in the photo at the beginning of the video to round things out. I could listen to that Rambo tune allllll day. So good! And yeah, the game was a little mediocre. It came out in 1990 so it had time on its side at least.

[@elrincondelukas]

Hello. I suscribe your channel. LIke

[@PaladinDusty]

5:11 Is that Pazuzu!? That makes sense, because I found this game to be extremely hostile to the player. I think I played for maybe an hour and quit. I would rather play Rush n Attack.

[@hungrygoriya]

It's very possible! The wings(?) definitely look similar. I found it really hard to get the hang of at first, but once you know where stuff is and how not to die at the bosses, it's pretty fun!

[@bartsullivan4866]

Another one of those games where you basically have a banana and the enemies have long shorts and range weapons. I have a much harder time playing games like this and Ghost N Goblins because of the no save feature all in 1 sitting.

[@hungrygoriya]

Hahaha the idea of fighting with a banana made me laugh!

[@anthonyjenkins2001]

Tarzan x Beastmaster?

[@hungrygoriya]

Sounds about right!

[@FallicIdol]

It kind of give me a Rambo nes vibe.

[@FallicIdol]

Then you start playing Rambo music. Lol

[@KairuHakubi]

in fairness, Danan looks like a guy who worked out so hard he's just a brick of muscle and has no flexibility. I can relate. Not to that tiny knife though. What self-respecting barbarian doesn't at least know how to do the underhand dagger stab?

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah, he's definitely an immovable meat pile!

[@AussieSingo]

Looks mediocre at best. Why just a dagger lol Interesting to watch tho, I dont think this was released in Australia

[@hungrygoriya]

I was totally hoping there would be more weapons available. That knife was a real challenge and none of the enemy hitboxes made much sense. I think it might have just been Europe? I know it definitely didn't come to North America.

[@Miakel]

It was released in Australia. I don't have it but I have seen it a couple of times in collecting

[@hungrygoriya]

@@hungrygoriya yes, for the right price. It's on my list. The game is a rarer one though so it's a bit more expensive.

[@childofcascadia]

Im going back thru your old reviews I havent seen yet. Hey, maybe itll boost the algorithm if I leave a comment! So - This looks kind of like a cruddy version of NES Rygar with even more annoying arcade features!

[@hungrygoriya]

Awww that's very nice to hear! Thanks for checking out the older stuff. Compared to Rygar, Danan is super stiff and bulky. Rygar's like an olympian gymnast in how he jumps and moves. But yeah, I agree with your breakdown here, haha

[@valentine_puppy]

Why oh why couldn't Rastan have these graphics. If you made Rastan into a game like this but polished it and finished it better than this game. Man, Just think of the legend Of Rastan Saga on Master System. Oh while we are at it put in some FM chip synthesis.

[@hungrygoriya]

All good points! I haven't played Rastan yet, but from what I've seen, it looks pretty janky!

[@valentine_puppy]

@@hungrygoriya It's okay. It's better than you think. It just doesn't live up to the arcade in graphics. The gameplay is quite nice but it is also a rogue like game. You die you gotta start over.
