Description
About This Game
A masterpiece of game design originally released in the early days of
the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, ActRaiser’s enduring popularity
stems from its revolutionary combination of action- and simulation-based
game play. The user plays the role of the Master, a dethroned deity
whose once idyllic world has fallen under the control of the Evil One.
Stripped of godly power, the Master must somehow put an end to the Evil
One’s reign and rebuild his desolate realm.
Game play alternates between two modes: Action and Simulation. In Action
mode, the Master must battle against impossible odds to pacify six
lands. Pacifying a land unlocks Simulation mode. In this mode, the
Master must oversee the development and repopulation of the territory he
has reclaimed. In doing so, he will gain followers who gradually restore
his godly might, empowering him to take back the next land and,
ultimately, defeat the Evil One.
This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. See more Virtual Console games for Wii.
