You have nothing to lose: chances are you will find a hidden artifact or you might find enemies that keep respawning (and either way, you come out with something as some enemies you defeat drop items). So, as you enter a level and there are multiple paths in which to traverse, I recommend going down each one. At its heart, it is a hack and slash game, but, as mentioned a couple paragraphs ago, it mixes in quite a bit of exploration. So is there more to Rygar: The Battle of Argus, you ask? Yes, but not too much more. However, the story and the facts about that time era that you find, really help keep this game interesting if you are into mythology. Don’t get your hopes up for first-class voice acting though as comes across pretty lame. I mean, it’s far from the best looking game on the Wii, but it is also far from being the worst looking. Graphically, the game isn’t that impressive, but seeing as how Nintendo decided that graphics aren’t what make the game (and I agree), Tecmo did a good job working with what they had to make a decent looking game. I love hacking and slashing, but I also like a little strategy in my boss battles. For example, I defeated the first boss by walking up to it and just mashing buttons while watching their health plummet. Usually there is no set strategy involved in defeating them. They really aren’t amusing and can be frustrating at times. The only real downside to the combat is the boss fights.
Now there will be attacks that simply can’t be blocked, but Rygar has other moves to avoid more powerful attacks, and as you can imagine you will find these abilities by searching the levels. It as simple as pushing the C button that’s it.
I find myself destroying everything I can as I go through levels (this is not only fun, but also a way to find upgrades for your weapon).Īlright now that I have covered the offense it’s time for the defense the defense.
On top of that, the environment is destructible and let me tell you, knocking down pillars and destroying other things in the environment is extremely satisfying. Of course they can also be used to chain together combos that can be pretty devastating. The A and B buttons are used as a normal and a heavy attack respectively. The combat works well with the diskarmor and is really simplistic. There are items you can pick up to make your trusty weapon more powerful, and even three different types of diskarmor you earn on your quest, each with its own different abilities. Essentially it is a round (shaped like a shield) disc with blades all around it and is attached to a handle similar to a mace. This is probably one of the coolest weapons I have used in an action/adventure game. He does however implement some pretty cool things along the way, mainly with his trusty diskarmor weapon. The story really isn’t that unique: Rygar is assigned the task of the tired mission to save the princess. Rygar takes place in the mythological Roman Empire. The question is will you find reason to don the diskarmor once again? Brawl is one of the best fighting games this generation, and now Tecmo has released Rygar: The Battle of Argus which is another game that has been picked up, remade and found a home in the thwarting arms of the Wii. Mario Kart is one of the better racing games on any console. While their competitors chose to widely advance their hardware, Nintendo decided to introduce a new way to play games, and quite a few games have utilized this motion sensor technology rather well.
