Saint seiya (1988) from Tose is a mix of platformer and turn-based rpg. It's an unusual mix I must admit, but in the end it came out quite well for the capabilities of the NES console. The plot is really very faithful to the source material, so much so that those unfamiliar with the brand will have trouble understanding anything or moving the story forward at all. During the platform stages, i.e. these areas between the temples, it is necessary to farm seventh sense (these are a kind of experience points, which when used strengthen our characters during the platform levels as well as the turn-based boss fights) if we farm too little of it at the end of the game we may not be able to win the last confrontation and then we start the game from the beginning. This is what happened to me a few years ago..... Also, boss fights played in a different way than intended can end in a quick death. So for those who don't know what they are doing, the game will definitely be a guessing game and a slow trial-and-error experience. It is a bit monotonous because areas between temples have the same visuals over and over again......,but there are, however, some instances where we will be given to visit a completely different area as well, so it is somehow balanced in order for us to not get totally bored. For what the game is it is certainly a competent summary of the most famous chapter of this series. A game definitely not for everyone, but very satisfying.
