[@injekktion]

Every time I listen to Crusader of Centy songs I got goosebumps. Not only because the music is so damn good but also because it reminds me how nice was this game.

[@andyukmonkey]

This is actually one I bought after renting it from blockbuster video back when I had about 5 Megadrive games. Absolutely love it. Shame there weren't more games like it. Ridiculously underrated game. Ive never been quite sure what the PAL Boxart is supposed to be though lol. One of the best soundtracks on the Megadrive.

[@brianbernethy6755]

I wouldn't say it's underrated if the cart is over $100 ...

[@avideogamemaster]

The cart is expensive because it is underrated. The rare games will always be expensive

[@CarozQH]

The European version is very affordable, thankfully. I have a German copy

[@JenDSnow]

One of the first games I bought, after Shining Force 1/2 and Phantasy Star 2/3/4. Easily the most fun I have had in a game like this.

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

@@JenDSnow This game was decent as it was simple and not too lengthy just like Shining Force 1 and 2. Phantasy Star 2 and 3 on the other hand were a serious grindfest :( Although, part 4 was decent and had good music

[@alucardvania986]

The story and messages throughout this game are just phenomenal. Very deep for the little child me first playing it. Amazing soundtrack. I find myself humming these tunes a lot.

[@laden3024]

the flute on "Desert Palace" sounds so fluid and soft, pretty real, and it sounds a little bit like Super Castlevania IV tone. Phenomenal

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

This soundtrack is underrated.

[@tomorrowsdoughnut]

An underrated game and a very good soundtrack too.

[@dialest]

When you said this, it was true. Now people inexplicably want $900 for it.

[@archiev.1633]

This game is an all time masterpiece for me, Beautiful Music Composition, Cute and colorful gameplay, and incredible story about humans and their crappy behaviour to anything "Different" Good lesson for any kid to play through this. One interesting find was while i was exploring Crucader of Centy Rom for sprites and textures I found all the textures of Prince Ali from Beyond Oasis game. Makes me wonder, if any of the developers were working on Beyond Oasis first.

[@simondaniel4028]

fuk yea I rented this back inn the day, decades later I bought a NIB version on ebay for more than I'll tell you now lol.

[@PopfulFrost]

I love this little oddity of a game, though I never really liked the ending. Things turn out hunky-dory only when the monsters are allowed to never have been trapped in this world. When it's only humans and animals in the world, everything's inexplicably kumbaya, when... no, that's not how that works. We know exactly what a world with humans as the only sapient species would be like because *we live in that world already*. We just turn on each other instead. Undertale later takes the same premise and instead gives us hope that humans and "monsters" *can* coexist, albeit imperfectly. Otherwise, though, I love Centy and its wild plot. It's a shame the game's so short, but the story doesn't feel undercooked, at least.

[@archiev.1633]

Yes I also didn't like the ending of the Game despite how deep the game actually dives. I wanted the Monsters to coexist together. I wanted and imagined a sequel that would reunite the world. Just like In Reality. In game pretentious self centered religion prevented coexistence. They slayed the monsters in the name of his Holiness. As i progressed through the game i found myself increasingly sympathizing with Monsters... I love this game on a deep level and keep a save on Black Night so i can talk to animals and Humans 😆 For all people that are yet to play this Rare gem. Give it a playthrough with philosophy and open heart. You'll love the message if you have big heart ❤️

[@imakaze]

Can't even believe this game was made. It's beatiful, sounds good, history has his message. Better than Zelda in my opinion, and that says a lot cause Zelda is a masterpiece.

[@Victory-in-YAHUSHA]

Perhaps not better than Zelda overall, but certainly better than A Link to the Past.

[@X3MCTZN]

This is the game ( mine was Soleil) that I was forced to play nearly to the end cuz the saving sequence was broken, and sometimes I got really pissed starting over and yeaars later I managed to beat it... all time favourite game !!! Underated RPG, derserves a remake !!!

[@bakisan1757]

Played the game long time ago and just finished it again last week. Thank you for uploading this amazing soundtrack it's not far away of bringing me tears.

[@Gashie_VII]

Sir, you've made me a very happy man. This game was part of my childhood. Love your channel thanks for all the work you put into uploading these!

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

Noor Aiman Ahmad You are welcome and thank you for your kind words!

[@rockmanhunter]

This is a masterpiece indeed. To me is much more epic than A Link To The Past in every way. It is very immersive and memorable, with unique gameplay mechanics and soundtrack. How Atlus never developed a sequel is beyond me.

[@markdavies8110]

A masterpiece but sadly underrated. If this was a Zelda game people would still rave about it today.

[@rockmanhunter]

I agree, Mark. And Let's face it: 99% of the gaming press back in the day was made of pure Nintendo fanboyism. If a game wasn't launched on a Nintendo platform, It would pass largely unnoticed. All Sega consoles have a large library of hidden gems, and thanks to emulation people are still finding and enjoying them.

[@zelu]

Game was distributed by Atlus. Game was produced by Nextech Entertainment. My favourite Megadrive game.

[@IronicSonic83]

It had a pseudo sequel: Linkle Liver Story

[@Victory-in-YAHUSHA]

Among the top 10 soundtracks for the Sega Genesis 👍

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

maybe top 3

[@Victory-in-YAHUSHA]

@@Avrelivs_Gold Perhaps so. Dynamite Headdy also has a superb soundtrack.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

@@Victory-in-YAHUSHA the thing with this music (apart from combat music) it doesn't get old. Because of all the tunes and genres, just all very melodic, and perfectly arranged. Top 3 would be Beyond Oasis, Shining Force 2 and Soleil.

[@Victory-in-YAHUSHA]

@@Avrelivs_Gold I disagree with Beyond Oasis. Decent but kind of bland. Shining Force II is a good one. My favorite Mega Drive ost's are S3&K, Crusader of Centy, Batman 1989, Streets of Rage 1 & 2, Dynamite Headdy, and Shinobi III.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

@@Victory-in-YAHUSHA Time has shown that most of your list is good, but not that good. Quality work but not timeless. Beyond Oasis however is truly classic, decades go by and you can't find anything better.

[@Akuajin]

Best town music ever! I bought this gem on close out from Fred Myers back in the day, amazing little adventure with tons of action!

[@willh69]

30:43 Decades on and this is still one of the Top 3 gaming songs that pops up in my head constantly

[@desktorp]

When renting SNES games (before I had a Sega) I can remember picking up the box for this game quite a few times. I remembered the name when I clicked this video, but had to do an image search and the memories came flooding back. Like a lot of other Genesis titles that I appreciated from a distance, I never played this one. My Sega was a JVC X'Eye and I owned it primarily for SegaCD games. I didn't begin to appreciate Genesis games a bit better til long after I got rid of that stuff and now I'm all video gamed out and all that's left is the music.

[@Dennis.Aguilera]

I like how sounds overworld map and rafflesia training its so animes themes, i mean i like the full ost, sounds so anime so 90's

[@eben3357]

Burn Daisy is a stand out piece.

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

The contrast between energetic Hot Daisy into the pensive, bluesy Burn Daisy is effective. It makes you think about shit... for me, "Is that a burnt crow on the other side of that wall?"

[@afropowa1598]

I wish Sega release this in a compilation since they own Atlus now. Monster Area is hella funky!

[@markdavies8110]

................or they could release it as a downloadable title on PSN and Xboc live. I'd buy it again!

[@avideogamemaster]

Sega owns all Technosoft games too and they have yet to release them in compilations :(

[@desktorp]

Sega is a shitty company, which can always be expected to make the greediest possible decisions.

[@avideogamemaster]

Fantastic game. Hidden gem.

[@kuscheltear]

I loved this game as a child. this music gives so nostalgic feels ;o

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

just finished this game for another time it's really relaxing, awesome and sweet, no zelda will give you that feeling 4:44 and 10:57, 51:09... so warm and unforgettable timeless 39:01 and 41:22 are forever in my heart

[@pointblank0020]

Best one is 28:55 Burn Daisy Jazzy lava cave

[@xboyindahouse]

Rafflesia Training Grounds, Battle 1, Water Lily and Tower of Babel sound like they come outta Ranger-X. Most probably it shares the same sound driver and it's done by same developers but each game is composed by a different person.

[@CanadianPenny]

About to make similar point, but not so detailed!

[@jacksonpsdotnet]

Thumbs up for mentioning Ranger-X

[@Stoutarm]

I have been waiting for you to upload this for like 2 years! :)

[@revivalteddy]

Thank you so much for this! I have got chills evey time I listen to Battle1. I gotta go, need to save a penguin !

[@eben3357]

Oh, and Camellia Desert has some excellent effects too.

[@MegaDriveProfile]

Dude I love this game! One of the most slept on and just plain expensive games out there for genesis. I had never played A Link To The Past so when I Iooked it up one day I was surprised to find out the game looks just like it. The Cube engine did this soundtrack justice too, I actually don't know if Motokazu Shinoda has other scores. I should really find out because he writes some great songs!

[@MegaDriveProfile]

Training Grounds theme is my joint, love the chord progression so much I even play it on keyboard from time to time.

[@moopbread5582]

Parts of this sound suspiciously like Ranger X... Must be some weird coincidence. Hey, so I did end up getting a Game Genie in order to play Crusader of Centy, and it turns out it runs at the right speed! Don't know why, but it works beautifully. There's just one...small...problem... Any game played through a Game Genie...can't save. In extreme cases, the Game Genie can even erase some saved files. Obviously this makes the game unplayable. At this point I have no choice but to look into other options. The way I see it there are 3 possibilities... 1. I buy a PAL Mega Drive. (Though I'm not sure if this would even work on an NTSC TV. Would it? If not, are there any cables/converters/whatevers I could get to make it work? Basically any method that doesn't involve getting a PAL TV.) 2. Get a region switcher installed on my system, to sort of trick it into thinking it's a PAL system, yet not tampering with the hertz speed. 3. Lay in the fetal position in the corner of my room, slowly sobbing, knowing my only remaining option is to spend my entire retirement fund on a Genesis copy, or even a flash cart. Wat do!?!?

[@MegaDriveProfile]

Honestly getting an Everdrive is your best bet if you don't want to go through bullshit. I was going to suggest it before but I wasn't sure how open you were to that. I mean you already own the game anyways if you are concerned about legalities.

[@moopbread5582]

Are there any cheaper alternatives to the Everdrive? I mean, the product is great, but there's gotta be something less expensive. I'm only really going to be using it to play one game, after all.

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

You could get a cheap repro off of a site like AliExpress, but I've never personally used a cheap repro that had save RAM. I don't know if they work properly.

[@xjax8519]

39:00 Castle Freesia, the best !

[@rubenfr-it7646]

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

Sounds chilled but decent. I like Tower of Babel soundtrack - very catchy

[@Prismit-m7v]

"Dark Night" transports the message thats awaits you so good. It's dark and slightly threatening, but somehow also melancholic and you know subconsciously that it's not evil. Also its a very good tune.

[@Nathan-rb3qp]

Sounds amazing for a guy whose never composed a video game before or since.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

The actual composer was obviously genius Noriyuki Iwadare. Look up his works, he's unbelievable.

[@superscrub9]

Just got around to beating this game this summer. It's really good with an awesome story and concept. Makes me mad that every game that is a top down dungeon crawler is instantly a Zelda clone.

[@heilong79]

Remember when every FPS was a Doom clone.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Zelda itself is a Hydlide clone. But Nintendo won't tell you that.

[@ThanatosSD]

This game is pure gold, for Genesis players was the perfect Action RPG the console needed and has awesome mechanics with the animal combinations. The OST is simply perfect and too catchy, love 39:01 Castle Freesia for the sad feeling.

[@fufzooz]

I forgot I loved this OST, thanks!

[@markdavies8110]

Amazing soundtrack from perhaps the most underrated game of the 16 Bit era. BTL the underwater stage music that starts about 41:20 - just hauntingly beautiful, used to make me cry as a kid lol!

[@lovemadeinjapan]

It reminds me of Neutopia II Sphere 4 music, which came out before Link to the Past. Look that game up, they set a really high bar for music for these Zelda clones. It was so good, LttP sounds lackluster in comparison. This CoC is a more serious homage to Neutopia II when it comes to music quality.

[@markdavies8110]

I see what you mean, very similar gameplay as well. In fact I'd say COC/Soleil was had even more similarities to this game then Zelda.

[@phobos2k2]

One of the best!

[@Genesis56457]

[@scissorman44]

"This game curb stomps on Link to the past." That's a good one. Released three years after it and at a point in time where the Zelda series itself incorporated some ideas this game assumes are "brilliant"(like jumping in an overhead game), if it wasn't anywhere near the same quality as the game it took inspiration from, it would be just an embarasment

[@markdavies8110]

Scissorman. They are both great games but one is remembered as an all time classic and the other is something of an overlooked gem. I can understand the comparison as Soleil was partly influenced by LTTP however Soleil is so full of imagination and innovation that it deserves to be judged on it's own merits.

[@avideogamemaster]

Remember when everybody praised Super Mario Galaxy for making the Sonic Adventure 2 gimmick better? Why not praise Crusader of Centy for doing the same?

[@markdavies8110]

RudJohn - Because the Nintendo loving gaming press at the time couldn't bear the thought that SEGA had made a Zelda beater. Also Soleil was released towards the end of the 16 Bit era so didn't get the attention it deserved.

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

Not sure about Phantasy Star 2 and 3. They are a serious grindfest and battles happen way too often :( Part was very 4

[@inxine]

one of the best games on the megadrive. good story, gameplay, music and the graphics are rly good too i just noticed that its a fkin Atlus game haha. even bk then they made quality games. or they were the publisher, doesnt matter ha.

[@jjphysstud]

Tower of Babel is a banger

[@ManiacalForeigner]

Shame that Motokazu Shinoda did so little VGM, his only other gaming works seem to be a few tracks for Tetris on the X68000 and some arrangements of Konami tunes on two of their arrange albums. vgmdb.net/artist/5182 This is just such a classic and unique score for a Zelda-like game.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Look up Noriyki Iwadare, the actual genius that made this music.

[@ManiacalForeigner]

@@Avrelivs_Gold I'm quite sure that Noriyuki Iwadare was in charge of implementing Shinoda's music on the Genesis hardware. So he didn't write the original compositions, but could be thought of as an arranger.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

@@ManiacalForeigner I have a lot of Iwadare's music and I'm quite sure that he wrote Crusader of Centy music here as well. Shinoda may have been the sound director, but the actual composer and arranger was clearly Noriyuki Iwadare. Just listen to Langrisser or Grandia OST. It's amazing, just like this.

Excellent OST, but this very much reeks Neutopia II. Look that up, and you know where the atmosphere comes from.... They borrowed gameplay from Zelda LttP, but the music on LttP was so bad, they must have used Neutopia II as inspiration. I have to give Neutopia II the slight edge. The stereo placement and metalish FM character is a little behind the PC Engine soundchip IMO, albeat the deeper bass.

[@CEJOTA1800]

The day the PC Engine Wavetable is able to reproduce this so faithfully to its original ADPCM game, let's talk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZOQhoybl8Zoibs please, the PC Engine Wavetable wasn't much either and the only thing truly competent with what's on Genesis and SNES is Magical Chase, the rest would sound better on Master System/GG's PSG than that Wavetable crap, I dare say Batman Sunsoft sounds millions of times better on NES than on PC Engine.

@@CEJOTA1800 Each to its own, but many titles sound so much better on PC Engine than MD. Take Mega Bomberman, it is a joke compared to Bomberman 94. Both music and graphics are ruined on the MD.
