Dahna Megami Tanjou [ダーナ女神誕生] Game Sample 1/2 - Genesis/MD
Original Air Date: September 13th, 2008 (Revised Today!)
This is the sample of the first two levels of the strange Japan-only Genesis game, Dahna Megami Tanjou (originally only one, but now revised at HQ with two on hard difficulty). It's violent to a degree and it's not particularly great, but it needed a video anyway. As Dahna, you can hack and slash your way through several levels and cast magic to defeat enemies or protect you from harm. You can increase your maximum health by grabbing health pick-ups when you're at full health (almost impossible btw) as well as by increasing you score at certain intervals (these are the only ways to replenish lost health). The game has some variety in its soundtrack as well as in the gameplay and level designs, but not to great effect. You can ride an Ogre at two points in the game (where he is incredibly short-lived both times), ride a horse a little while on stage two, and fly on a Griffon in a side-scroller shooter fashion as well. The game is noted for being difficult and somewhat rare. Enjoy.
