Warrior Blade: Rastan saga ep.III (Arcade)CO-OP Playthrough/It's definitely not Conan, if you squint
8Warrior Blade: Rastan saga ep.III (1991) by Taito is certainly not an intended clone of the popular Conan the Barbarian story. Probably the brand license wasn't too cheap so they came up with a new name for him :P and so Rastan was created. After all, when you take inspiration from something then take it only from the best. "Warrior Blade" is the third part of Rastan's adventures apparently. I did not even know that there was a second part :P After analyzing informations and a few reviews, it's probably better that this game was never made after all. It is supposedly that bad. Well, apparently, the creators after the severe fiasco of the previous part decided to cut themselves from the previous game title . This is a bit confusing for the average gamer, but it can be excused because Taito apparently took this failure to their hearts and created a really great game this time. It is a typical beat'em up we go and destroy everything in our path. The basic mechanics of the game, meaning combat system, is very basic and hardly stands out from the competition, I would even add that it is quite primitive. But overall it works very well. Somehow the mashing of a single button didn't bore me until the very end of the game. Maybe it's because the game is served to us in small but satisfying doses? And possible boredom is dispelled by introductory levels to each major stage. Where we ride a horse, dragon or even a surfboard like in TMNT (something like that). Graphically it really looks great so here I have no complaints. Musically, it may not be a masterpiece, but it definitely fits to the sculpted world of fantasy. What can I say ..... if you like Conan, there is no need to think about it, just go play it :) Very cool game .
