A classic RPG from Enix and the 16bit days

Since I had enjoyed Actraiser so much (Soul Blazer is loosely based in the same world as Actraiser and made by the same company), I rushed out to buy Soul Blazer when it came out in the early 90's. I hadn't played Final Fantasy yet so this game with 8 swords, 8 armors, 8 magics, and up to 40 items seemed huge to me. I look back on it now and it seems simplistic compared to todays RPG's. This doesn't change the fact that this is one of my all time favorite RPG's. The music, story and to some extent the game play (not the boss battles) put this game ahead of all the rest. I remember crying at the ending when I first saw it. Not because it was sad, but because it was very moving for me at the time.

This is the first game in a series by the way: the 2nd is Illusion of Gaia, and the third is Terranigma (which was released in English for the PAL version of the Super NES). It is a much better game than Illusion of Gaia IMHO.

Overall a very highly recommended game.

i love this game

Soul Blazer is the game before Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma in the series. I played IoG first by chance and loved it. Soon I was hunting fer Terranigma and Soul Blazer. Neverthelesss I found this game at another flea market and love it more than IoG. The music is unbelivable. This game just kicks...

My first RPG experience!!!!!!!

It all began back in 1995 when i was 11 years old.Me and two friends of mine borrowed Soulblazer from an older boy in my neighborhood.At that time we did'nt know what an RPG was...
So this was the first time i ever experienced this genre.Me and my friends loved it,everything was great about it.I love the monster lairs...And the dream rod...of course..So,if you have the chance
and simply love old school RPG's.....BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the best rpg games for Super Nintendo. Right up there with Zelda, Secret of Mana, etc. Heck, it's better than
most of the N64 games I've seen.
The whole family can play this one...lots of cute little
creatures & mean bosses. Several stages & good variety.
Tons of stuff to find & explore as you progress.
You can replay it often.
This one's a keeper!!!

This game is GREAT!

Soul Blazer is one of the funnest and most interesting RPG's I have ever played. I like they way you need to "release" characters in town from the monster nests (I guess that's what you'd call them). This game, no doubt, should be part of anyone's collection, whether you love RPG's or not. The storyline is excellent, and some of the character's abilities are really cool as well, such as seeing people's dreams and talking to and understanding animals.

An instant classic

I first played this game shortly after it came out in the early 90's, during my 5th grade spring break. The game is an action RPG, meaning, you fight the enemies in real time and not in a separate screen like the Final Fantasy series. In the game, you play one of a god's servants, who is trying to help free the world from the grip of Deathtoll, who is essentially the devil. As you go through the game you pick up different weapons, armor, and magic which allow you to advance through the game. I remember that I found the sound and music to be quite beautiful at the time, and I still enjoy it today. The game is definitely worth a look, if you can find it. If you enjoy games such as Actraiser or Illusion of Gaia, you'll love this one.

A game ahead of it's time

In my opinion piror to this game they only real rpg's that had came out so far in the USA where the dragon warrior games not including gameboy, or maybe Mother(earthbound) but I believe that only came out in Japan for NES. Firstly judge this game for it's time 1992 for it's time this game was ahead of it's time. Firstly the saving feature this game is easy to save none of that hold the reset button then power off. Of coarse many would argue that Legend of Zelda for nes was a good game piror to this game's release. Sorry not a huge Zelda fan so I'd beg to differ, this game is weird and simple. However, trust me for it's time this game was pretty advanced, were a kid in the early 90's you know what I mean. Just give this game time it is pretty good.
