Rating:6.5

Classic Action Side-Scrolling RPG for the NES
When I played this game in the 1980s when it first came out, I was overwhelmed, because up until that point I had never played a sidescrolling action RPG, let alone one as challenging as Rygar. Even today, this game sti... Read Full Review

The more you kill the more power you get.
The more you kill the more powerful you become, what a concept. That is the best way to describe Rygars interesting level up system. This wasnt a game, it was a quest. The first action/RPG with an easy to grasp arcade ga... Read Full Review

If u have a Nintendo BUY THIS GAME
This game was soooo fun. Basically the point of the game is to save the princess but unless you are amazing you would never really figure that out. I'm pretty sure this game is impossible to beat but I could be wrong. Th... Read Full Review

Rygar: The horribly mistranslated adventure
Rygar for the NES is a game that could have been great, but instead, due to some flaws, turns out to be kind of average (but still fun). The game could have been longer, boss fights could have been better, and the charac... Read Full Review
