Rastan (Sega Master System)

An ancient replay from my childhood.

I remember playing this many years ago as a kid. Going back to it now was very rough.

You play as Rastan who is off to kill a dragon and save a princess. Rastan has a very Conan vibe to his design.

The Down Stab in this game is very good. Has so much active frames it can demolish most enemies and does huge damage to bosses. Before there was Link in Zelda with a Down Stab, there was Rastan!
You can even jump off of walls which was neat in some area.s

It actually had a day night system. Spend too much time on a level and it turns to night. All it does is make the level darker and more bats come out.

When fighting bosses, you have to actually kill the bosses real quick or else your life drains slowly. I never noticed until I looked it up afterward.

This game had some pretty cool things going for it for an action/platformer.

Venture Kid (Switch)

This game was heavily inspired by Mega Man.
You can play in Classic mode which you play the stages in a fixed order or in Adventure mode where you can select any stage.
It has both a good/bad ending. There's also a Survival and Boss Rush mode.
It plays very well, has a nice 8-bit look and some catchy chiptunes.

Aborigenus (Switch)

You play as a tribesman who has to become a shaman in order to rescue his beloved and tribesmen from an evil shaman.

I was shocked on how short this game was when I started it up and beat it in less than an hour.

When you kill enemies, you get XP which you can use to power up your abilities but it seems like you can't really max out every ability considering how short this game is. One mechanic I liked in the game is a sneaking mechanic where you can hide in the background and stab the enemy with your spear to do critical damage.

Fun little game but over too soon.
