this is probably one of my favorite videos, just because it's a game I love. Honestly, I didn't expect to see it in your UWW series, because it's really not that hard - I mean, I beat it.. the only hard part in the whole game I found was the very last boss, and his megaman-esque "Beat all the bosses and me in 1 life" gimmick (although I don't think I was playing "professional", don't really know what that is or how much more difficult it is.)

But it really is one of my favorite SNES games, and it's one you don't hear about enough IMO. So I'm really glad you played through it. I really didn't find any of the bosses too hard once you get some magic under your belt.. just that last one took me for ever.. it was very "danmaku".. shit just flying everywhere with a very pre-determined place where you need to stand to not get hit.

Yeah, a really fun game that gets REALLY hard at the end. Check out Actraiser 2, which is way more harder XD !

And "Heim" (spelled "Hyme") is German for "home". Also used in some places of the Norse mythology, like Niflheim.

There's a small fact you've forgot to mention: In the original Japanese version, this swordsman is God, and the endboss is Lucifer. But they had to change some names for obvious reasons ^^

have you done blaster master yet? that would be a good one to do.

I don't know why you didn't use the blue orb spell more. I only saw you use it twice in the video, and once the way it should be used (at point blank on the boss, which will eat away about half of the boss's health). I used that a hell of a lot when I played this as a kid. But then again, I played the American release. But it seemed to have the same effect when I saw it in the video. That spell certainly made the flaming wheel and ice dragon bosses a lot easier. I never liked the last spell you get, the light beam. The blue orb attack hits repeatedly as long as the boss is inside of it, and the boss gets almost nonexistant recovery time, and both orbs hit when they're near you. Oh yeah, it works on the last boss too, but not quite as well because the boss closes his um...ribcage? in the middle of the spell, and the sword beam attack seemed to be more effective, so I don't know how to make that level any easier.

I had no idea about all those rules about the sim portions of the game, or about the score affecting the population. I just kept building roads until part 2 of the area opened up and I honestly didn't have the patience to wait for the town to build. And I beat the game anyway without spending time optimizing the sim portions.

Hey, Actraiser II is the real shit: this is the hardest platform game ever (5 times castlevania at least).

If you can do this game until you win youre the man.

im damn serious man, actraiser II.
