ActRaiser 2, released on the Super Nintendo in October 1994, is an action-packed platformer that puts players in the shoes of "The Master," a god-like spirit tasked with eradicating evil from the land.
The game builds upon the side-scrolling action of its predecessor, offering 14 new levels filled with challenging enemies, new abilities, and super powers. Players must explore the world, controlling their Cloud Palace as they zoom across the map to choose their next area of battle.
ActRaiser 2 retains some familiar elements from the original game, such as sound effects that make a comeback, while introducing new features like hidden RPG elements. However, changes abound, including the removal of village-building mode, a shift from battery-saving to password-saving, and a fresh musical score.
