  Actraiser (PC) - PC Game Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
Actraiser is an interesting mix of genres that managed to work really well.
Rather than just being a platformer or just being a strategy game or just being a role playing game it instead mixed elements of all 3 to create a game which, while not perfect in any one single element, was a great mixture of all 3 and overall a fairly unique and fun game.
On their own each of the sections is nothing special, feeling like a poorly done version of other games such as Castlevania or Populous, together however they create a unique game that keeps you entertained.

  The Armchair Empire - Classic Games: ActRaiser
ActRaiser was one of the handful of launch titles for the Super Nintendo console back in September of 1991.
The story behind ActRaiser is an interesting one: Tanzra (the big bad guy, for lack of a better term) has unleashed monsters across your world, and it’s up to you, as the planet’s deity, to rid the world of the monsters and bring civilization, peace, and harmony back to the planet.
ActRaiser 2 went on to eliminate the sim sequences and really turned up the difficulty factor, which made the game one of the most difficult SNES games on record.

 Rec Room Spotlight: ActRaiser
Since ActRaiser is a retelling of the creation of earth, many of the environments are based on real places and their associated mythology.
The graphics are good, and the animation was improved over the first ActRaiser, but the music is a step down (despite being done by the same composer.) The story pulls a "Star Fox 64" in that it's not consistent with the original game's story, and in fact, seems a "retcon" or "retelling".
ActRaiser Review - My complete, original review of this game, written in the old outdated category format, so the quality of the writing isn't going to be on par with my newer stuff.

 Actraiser for Mobile Review - Mobile Actraiser Review
In Actraiser, you play a deposed deity who must fight to protect his worshippers from a generic menace, called the "Evil One." Said villain imprisons you, and proceeds to send several creatures to terrorize your people.
The SNES Actraiser's gameplay was twofold, with action-platforming sequences punctuated by strategy gameplay segments, the goal of which was to rebuild cities liberated from the Evil One.
In the end, the mobile manifestation of Actraiser is but a pale shadow of its former glory.

 ActRaiser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
ActRaiser deserved the recognition it needed to carry it to lofty heights.
You press the B button to bring up a menu, which is your command database; send in thunderstorms, building directions, etc. As Cupid you attack the overhead monsters (usually flying monsters) using a bow and arrow, and you can periodically upgrade your weapon based on offerings from the townspeople.
ActRaiser employed such a novel and innovative idea at the time, and it is a once in a lifetime experience in which the formula could never be duplicated just as great.

 ActRaiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The true sequel, ActRaiser 2, was released for the Super Nintendo in 1993.
According to the instruction booklet, the world is maintained by a deity known as "The Master".
It consists of the first three side-scrolling levels of the game, with the town-building portions completely omitted, and is generally seen as inferior to the original game.

 Actraiser 2 enemies, bosses
Fans of the original "Actraiser" are generally disappointed with this sequel, as its predecessor combined a traditional 2-d action mode with an addicting "simulator" mode that allowed you to direct human civilization and even control the weather.
Actraiser 2 does indeed completely omit these strategy/roleplaying elements, opting instead for a straight-up action game.
In Japan, the hero of Actraiser is God himself, and your opponents are Lucifer and the Seven Deadly Sins.

 The Greatest Games of All Time
In ActRaiser, you weren't just a guy with a sword fighting for good; you were literally a god tasked with first cleansing a land despoiled by evil and then guiding your people in rebuilding it.
ActRaiser was unique in its day for marrying action and strategy so seamlessly.
The action stages could have made a fun enough game on their own, but the surprisingly deep and satisfying world-building segments (with the goofy little angel avatar) were the real highlight for me. You could actually get a sense you were helping these people live better lives, and it all seemed really heartfelt and genuine.

 Middle School Gaming - Cerebral Games for Twitch Gamers Part II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Although a bit linear, the story develops as you play: like any good simulation game, the player is drawn into the lives of the people in his or her charge, to the point of having concern for the people and their well-being.
While Actraiser is a bit on the easy side, and simple for a sim game, this ensures it keeps out of the realm of the esoteric PC sim and within easy reach of the casual gamer.
While the Master’s statue was improved with a set of angelic wings, in Actraiser 2 he trudges along at a snail’s pace and wields a sword with pathetically short reach.

Actraiser is a fun action/strategy hybrid from Quintet/Enix for the SNES.
You play the role of a god who is trying to reclaim the earth from evil beings and make it habitable for your people.
Where Actraiser really shines, though, is in the simulation scenes.

 Game of the Month 10/02: ActRaiser
ActRaiser was one of the first games ever released for the SNES and it still remains one of my favorites even today.
I think ActRaiser is a great game, but it's ease of difficulty keeps it from being a true masterpiece.
Be aware that it's not a true RPG and the action sequences won't exactly push your skills to the limit, but it's a fun, fast, and fantastic adventure while it lasts.

 ActRaiser 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ActRaiser 2 is a side-scrolling platform game for the Super NES released by Enix in November 1993 The sequel to the Enix game ActRaiser, it tells a story that parallels the famous religious epics Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno.
The position of ActRaiser 2 in the series timeline is not explicitly revealed, however many plot details suggest that ActRaiser 2 may actually be a prequel to the original ActRaiser, or take place in another universe entirely.
This reflects the ending of the original ActRaiser, where the servant speculates that someday the world may be so independent that it will forget about the Master.

 GameSetWatch - COLUMN: 'Parallax Memories' – Actraiser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Actraiser can be broken up into action and simulation, and the name comes from what it does, not what it is. Using this column as an excellent excuse to purchase games that I have had interest in I picked it up on a whim at a used game store while visiting some friends in Louisiana.
I loved both Actraiser and Actraiser 2 back in their day and while I haven't replayed them in years, I am sure they are still as enjoyable today as they were then.
I played through Actraiser again recently, and the thing that strikes me about it now is how much of it is essentially slight-of-hand.

For those that do not recall, the superb 'action game with extras', Actraiser, came out in 1990 for the SNES and its weaker sequel followed in 1993 - both published by Enix in all territories.

The type of friends I had at the time didn't think simulation type video games were cool, and since back then friendship was so extremely important to me, I ignored the game.
I can only guess because so many creative ideas were being thrown around back then in the world of video games, that an innovation of mixing sim with action was so small and insignificant at the time, and so people didn't care or didn't notice.
Challenging and satisfyingly graphical for its time, Actraiser is better than its sequel.
