Shinrei Jusatsushi Tarōmaru | Sega Saturn playthrough (JPN) | Real hardware
0AKA Psychic Killer Taroumaru
Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru is a 2D side-scrolling action game developed by Time Warner Interactive and Pulse Interactive for the Sega Saturn console in 1997. The game is set in feudal Japan and follows the story of a young samurai named Taromaru who is on a quest to defeat evil spirits that have invaded his land.
Players control Taromaru as he battles through a series of stages, using a combination of sword attacks and magical spells to defeat enemies and bosses. The game features hand-drawn graphics and a haunting soundtrack, which contribute to the game's eerie atmosphere.
Review:
This game came out in limited numbers so is super rare. Trouble is, it’s bloody good too. Reminiscent of Shinobi. It has a nice mix of 2D gameplay and 3D backgrounds.
It’s a really nice game to playthrough too as you don’t need practice and I did it on one go in just under an hour.
The controls scheme is cool as you have some kind of auto aim, homing magic attack. It’s very useful for attacking enemies while you concentrate on dodging the enemies.
It was a shame to get rid of this but my brother had to sell it from the collection and sold the disc on its own for £500!
