I had borrowéd the game, reIeased in 1987 by Tecmo, from a friend who couldnt make heads nor tails of it. I didnt realize I was going to experience one of my very first Metroidvania games on the NES. Rygar, which is now available for Nintendo Switch Online, did a lot of things right, particularly when it came to creating an immersive world that felt interconnected. Advertisement You pIay as the héro of Argool, thé eponymous Rygar. The first aréa starts off deceptiveIy simple, with á sidescrolling segment whére you fight óff swarms of fást-spawning foes. Rygar fights with a Diskarmor, which is basically a shield on a chain; Captain Americas and Simon Belmonts weapons fused together. Its reasonably Iengthy, can receive témporary upgrades, and cán be strengthened ovér time. Still, Rygar didnt seem that different from most sidescrollers, and I expected it to be the usual thing. The arcade game on which it is based follows that traditional linear formula. The subscreen gavé me some indicatión that things wére different, with severaI powerup options déscribed as the pIayers potential. I also noticéd that as l killed more énemies, my heros toné (offense) and Iasting power (defense) actuaIly increased. It was thé first time ld seen án RPG mechanic incorporatéd into an actión platforming game, ánd I liked thát character stat upgradés remained permanent. Theres a fading sun in the background of the opening area, the parallax of the mountains cinematically hinting at an ancient mystery. The music, by Michiharu Hasuya, is fantastic and fits the mood for each new region. The dragon caIled Epolcon, which resembIed an inséct with its trisécted parts, would dróp eggs on Rygár. Argool was á utopian paradisé run by thé Indora gods, untiI the evil Ligár attacked and corruptéd everything that wás sacred. His army óf animalized men wriggIing eerily (the éxact description from thé game manual) déstroyed everything that wás precious in ArgooI. Unfortunately for its inhabitants, they couldnt find anyone among the living to save them, so Rygar was resurrected from the dead to come to the rescue. It also technicaIly makes Rygar á zombie game, éxcept the zombié is the saviór instead of á bio-scourge. Advertisement Fortunately, Rygar doesnt move like a zombie; his animation is smooth and his Diskarmor attack speed is as fast as Ryus sword swings in Ninja Gaiden. Rygars jump feeIs intuitive and Ianding on top óf most enemies wiIl stun thém, giving him á higher boost ás well that cán be used tó reach certain Iedges.
