Light Crusader is an action RPG for the Sega Mega Drive (AKA Genesis) developed by game legends, Treasure. This game received failry mixed reviews, but when I was a child and growing up, this was one of my favourite games. In fact dare I say this was the first Action-adventure/RPG I ever played. If it was not the first, it certainly was one of the first. I loved the graphics and mixture of action and puzzles.
Whilst as one of my first RPGs I loved this game, after years of finding other similar games, I realised that whilst this is not a bad game by any means, there are far better examples of the genre out there. That doesn't make this game any less special to me however. It certainly does have it's own unique features, although not always accomplished too well, it is still fairly original in its execution. Unlike many RPGS, this game does not feature multiple villages and different dungeons en route to villages. Instead this game focuses around one main village and one huge dungeon that players must work there way through. The use of magic is also very cool
I've seen this game be called "Treasure's worst game", but if anything in my opinion that mearly highlights the strengh of Treasure's games, as this is still a good game, at least it is to me.
So I was wondering what you guys' opinons are on this game? I've heard many people say they hate it, but then I've also heard people say they love it. How do you feel about it and why? For me, whilst it's obviously no where near being the best RPG the Mega Drive has to offer, I do feel it has its place.
