Actraiser , a Super Famicom game from 1990, combines elements of side-scrolling action titles with city-building mechanics inspired by Sim City. As "The Master", you guide the world towards salvation from evil.
The game is divided into two main parts: purging evil through side-scrolling sections as a powerful warrior, and guiding villagers in rebuilding their towns.
Actraiser 's gameplay features both action-packed platforming sequences and town-building management. You'll navigate through various environments, eliminating evil forces and allowing civilians to return and construct new settlements. An angel companion helps oversee the construction process, while you can intervene with miracles to address their needs.
