WedSNESday: Let's Play ActRaiser full Episode 12 - Ol' Headwheel himself
1It's a two-fer this week as Lord Pultch. finishes his business both in the windy hills of AITOS, then battles his way through the volcano to defeat the head-wheel boss, and onward to NORTHWALL to finish what he started a few episodes back. We near a close to ActRaiser as the NPCs bear down hard on the final confrontation with Tanzra, but there's still a few things left to do...

ActRaiser (アクトレイザー) is a hybrid side-scrolling action and city building sim, developed by Quintet and published by Enix in 1990. It follows the story of a godling known as "The Master" (Who the NPCs have named Pultch.), on a quest to reclaim the now depopulated world after hundreds of years recovering from wounds suffered at the hands of the evil demon Tanzra (Satan, in the Japanese version). The world is divided into six countries, each populated with one of Tanzra's evil Lieutenants. He must defeat them and repopulate the world, so that he may regain his power, which relies on the faith of his people.
The game is divided neatly into 7 parts, each land with a platforming section and boss fight on either end, and a sim portion in between, where the player controls The Master's Cherub companion and watches over, and directs the rebuilding of civilization until the monster lairs in the lands can be destroyed, and the final confrontation in each begun. The game was a very successful global reliese, having sold over 620,000 copies worldwide, and has been lauded particularly for its soundtrack, composed by Yūzō Koshiro, also known for Shenmue, the Etrian Odyssey and Streets of Rage series, and many others.
WedSNESday is the Level 0 NPCs weekly series where we play one older game for one episode, just to relive the nostalgia and maybe make your hump day just a little bit more fun.
