Well am now playing this game on my Mega Drive Mini 2 and looking to understand why no one mentions this SOLEIL game i found out it has another title for America thanks to your video.

[@CMKarm]

I remember it. One of my favorite games of all time. The story was heavy for the time and really quite beautiful. Solid gameplay and interesting mechanics with the animal companions and their team-up skills. Bad timing made this such an underrated title.

[@bencorrigan5915]

This game has recently been added to the switch's online service. I played this game alot when I was young, so it's great to play through it again. Without the high price 👍

[@t.k.5972]

Personally I like the tragic approach that sometimes, the mistake was to force beings to live together. It helped me as a kid to make sense of divorce and watching news of countries infights or make sense of history. No offense but not everyone wants the rosy message. If you think about it, later on games like demon souls made the same stuff appealing to "grown ups". Even the happy end of soleil mentions that a part of history was lost. Its almost cynical, but for the innocent boy it means peace.

I owned this game. My personal favorite game for the Genesis/Mega Drive next to Musha, Elemental Master, and Phantasy Star IV.

[@Danjuls]

I think I only owned one game on the Mega Drive and that was altered beast :) This looks really chill and I would have loved to play it back then.

[@tiramiseratops]

it's cool to learn that M. Shinoda was composing music for 16-bit video games before his career in Linkin Park

[@Vakantscull]

You don't know how long I've bren waiting for someone else to notice that!

[@JigglyRuff]

Nice to see you back dude, I didn't know about this game until now, I've never seen a Zelda type game on a Sega Mega Drive, what a brilliant review man.

[@Vakantscull]

yeah this is definitely one of the more obscure games on the Mega Drive, thanks for the support!

[@SamuraiJax]

I got absolutely hooked on this as a kid but it's a game time has forgotten, never see anyone talk it so I truly appreciate this vid

[@RedChems]

I feel like the maker of Undertale must have played this game. Excellent video! I think the worm represented smell in that it was using smell to find your character, maybe?

[@Vakantscull]

that's a good point, you never have a moment in rpgs when you make your charscter stop and shower so a lot of them probably do stink quite a bit 😅

[@RedChems]

@@Vakantscull ironically (according to Google) worms do not possess the sense of smell so it’s rather odd that they picked worms to represent smell. That being said, every game has you go through the sewers at least once, so the worms would probably still be able to smell the player anyway

[@HollowRick]

Not sure if you've looked at it since this video is now 3 years old but if you liked this game you should check out the spiritual successor called linkle liver story on the sega Saturn Japan on the way but has an English fan translation :)

[@Victory-in-YAHUSHA]

Better than Beyond Oasis, and in my top 5 Sega Genesis games.

[@jasonmartinez5116]

Nintendo just officially announced that Crusader of Centy is coming to the Switch Online Service Expansion Pack and it's available now

[@Vakantscull]

😍

[@saaronman5663]

Good stuff dude, never heard of this game until now but I did enjoy you're explanation of it and the jokes towards it referencing other popular games

[@Vakantscull]

thanks dude, glad you enjoyed!

[@retrorewindgamer5763]

I wish I was more into the Sega stuff back in the day. I like the commentary and the editing is great.

[@Vakantscull]

there's always emulation to help find what you like, never too late :) and thanks for the compliment, your support means a lot to me :)

[@SubzeroMNX]

Seems like that what a lot of the games were back then were shooter and horror games. So This is a cool change to see, kinda like those early final fantasy/Zelda games. Digging it nice throwback 👍

[@FiggsNeughton]

>be me >promised a life of warfare like my fathers before me >get taken to training grounds, pretty excited >spend the day cutting grass and doing other groundskeeping labor >"roight now it's time ta learn combat, first step, throw ye sword like an absolute woman then"

[@NerdintheBay]

Oh man a Genesis version of a Zelda type! It looks great! They should have invested more into this to make a rival series!

[@Vakantscull]

I kinda wished they would put this on the Mega Drive collections for current gen machines the same way they added Light Crusader and Beyond Oasis

[@StarElysia]

I really like this game i played it on my friends modded Xbox when I was a kid. I never finished but it’s cool that you covered it, I never would have remembered this. Excited to see your half-life video! Welcome Back!!!!

[@Vakantscull]

Always nice when this reaches people that have actually played the game, half the problem when looking at the more obscure titles :) Half Life is on schedule for next saturday ;)

[@bradleybrown3446]

I watched this the other day and I realized I didn’t comment but I’m back. The opening is so good. I had no idea what soleil and the first gameplay I was like that looks like doom. But this looks pretty fun. I’m a sucker for link to the past knockoff

[@Vakantscull]

That's okay :) The main thing is you're enjoying the content, especially glad the new intros going down well!

[@StephenHopkinsVaults]

im currently playing this. its very tricky in places one annoying thing was learning to jump took me about n hour to work out. and forgetting to save. the sword can be a bit wonky swing the sword to cut grass and it doesnt cut or an enemy is right in front swing the sword and it doesnt hit. im gonna stick with it i like to finish games and wont stop till its beat. it was cool seeing sonic in the beach area.

[@TheHomieRJay]

Damn always finding some game I've neverrrr heard of lol I like the art and colors it's just give s me the old school aesthetic feels lol keep up the good work my dude!

[@Vakantscull]

I'm sure I'll get to some you've heard of soon, maybe even the OG Tony Hawk 1 and 2 ;)

[@AddcamDX]

Does anyone know if this PAL version runs on a Nomad?

[@Vakantscull]

from what I've read they are region locked

[@GamerSquadGuide]

The joy of listening to the ps2 intro. :)

[@Vakantscull]

had to be done! :D

[@SammieBug]

ooo i really love the music to this, reminds me a little bit of sonic at 12:46, Awesome game i loved it!

[@RMMilitaryHistory]

Hey ma! Hey pa! I defeated the monsters! Ma and Pa: You did the what now?!

[@Vakantscull]

"Alright Fat Tony, don't play dumb with me!" "What's a monster?"

[@RockstarPoole69]

So something that you fought you shouldn't have fought but you still fought now doesn't exist even though you fought them? Is there a doctor in the house to explain that one?

[@Vakantscull]

You fight it and win, which means it never existed which means you can't fight it, which means you can't win, which means it never stopped existing, which means you fight it and win, which means it neve-oh dear I've gone crossed-eyed

[@HussCraft]

yes yes he is finally back, intro made me laugh a lot lol, lol whats with games making young kids go on adventures, so basically you go to the pass destroy the spirit thing to make your dad alive because it prevents all the monsters coming to your world but thats where time punches writers in the face because if he went to the pass to stop dad from dying he would of not got his sword and shield, you know where I am going with this right lol

[@Vakantscull]

Yeahhhh time travel can get messy, especially when it's taking its cues from wizard of oz 🤣

[@Vakantscull]

And thanks for the support too, really appreciate you sticking out the wait!

[@HussCraft]

@@Vakantscull will always stick out for you buddy

[@TheRetroPerspective]

So on a scale of Alundra to Monkey Hero, how Zelda is it? xD

[@Vakantscull]

Oh I'd definitely say closer to Monkey Hero with it's child friendly visuals and general atmosphere! still need to try and find a working copy of Monkey Hero, had a couple that just wouldnt play and Im not sure if it was the discs or the ps2

[@PlayCONtent]

is mum ever referred to on text as anything other than that? I hope not

[@Vakantscull]

Nope 🤣

[@PlayCONtent]

HAHA A WOLF IN AN OLD LADY'S HOUSE ...it's a little red riding hood knockoff as well as a zelda

[@Vakantscull]

there's beanstalks too...

[@easir1814]

Good to see you bring back this game, I used to watch my uncle play this, he introduced this to me.

[@Vakantscull]

Glad you enjoyed :)

[@easir1814]

@@Vakantscull yup man(*´ω｀*)

[@ex-x7079]

Too many damn puzzles and usage of the start button. and the puzzles are absolutely ridiculous to catch onto. Illogical. But then again maybe I dislike these kind of games. I never liked the Legend of Zelda games with this format. Only Legend of Zelda 2 and onwards.

[@euphorik3120]

"Why Does No-one Remember Sega's SOLEIL/CRUSADER OF CENTY?" some of these videos i land on 🙄 think i'll make a video titled Why Don't People Eat Bread Anymore? pretending its a thing

[@Vakantscull]

[@stuartdavies344]

Give me this and Alundra over actual Zelda games any day.

[@Vakantscull]

Oh don't you worry, Alundra's on the list too ;)

[@stuartdavies344]

@@Vakantscull This pleases me

[@Vakantscull]

@@stuartdavies344 If I could find an affordable copy of Alundra 2 that would be acers

[@Adze]

I love how you have to pay for someone to explain how to throw shit at people. Like, I'm pretty sure it's possible to figure it out on your own.

[@Vakantscull]

just another example of micro transactions ruining video games...

[@joystickzombies6693]

This was cool and new

[@Vakantscull]

glad you liked, thanks for checking it out!

[@christophe2201]

Because i't s a poor copy of Zelda A link to hte past...Nothing is good in this game except the graphics. Gameplay uinteresting, bad musics, bad playability...

[@ex-x7079]

Thank you..
