Astal is one of those games that you MUST have sitting on your game shelf, just so that you can show it off. I'll start off with the good stuff:
This title has some of the most impressive, mezmorizing scenery that the Saturn has ever seen (and this was one of the first few titles for the console!!). Every new level is like a chapter in a fantasy novel.
The music is probably the best part about the whole thing. Composed with great detail, and wonderful artistry, each cut makes you want to turn up your stereo even more. I've used the music test mode to relax and study.
The gameplay is just what you'd expect for a platform game. The best part is the "beat-em-up" factor. You can really kick some [...] in this game. The enemies are very imaginative, also. Astal is a very noisy guy.. he screams more when he's beating up enemies than Venus Williams in a tennis match.
Pick this one up, Saturn faithfuls. A wonderful story in a game to match.
