Addictive gameplay and a lot of cool RPG elements.

I guess you could classify this game as an RPG. Afterall, you explore worlds, level up, and collect items that help you get to the final boss. For me, this game provided hundreds of hours of playing time. There was just something about it that never got old for me. From start to finish, this game was great, and it had a lot of new ideas that had never been done before. I liked how they gave you many cool powers. One that I remember specifically was the ability to project yourself from your body in order to find secret areas. I always thought that was pretty cool. The graphics in this game were also very good for the time.

There were also a huge number of different creatures to fight. There were knights, zombies, guards, blobs, bats, and a lot of other interesting creatures. The bosses were a lot of fun to fight, but the only one I really remember was the dragon. That was a cool boss. There were also a lot of weapons and powers to collect, and I enjoyed collecting all the best swords. There were also those magical creatures that helped you win battles, and I thought that was a good idea.

Overall, this game was amazing, and it is sad that not many people have heard of it. It is too late for most people to pick up this game, with all the amazing graphics we have now, but I think Beyond Oasis was near perfect.

    An enjoyable and visually pleasing action-rpg

    For much of the 16-bit era the Sega Genesis didn’t have a top-down action role-playing game to compete directly with Zelda for SNES. In 1994 Beyond Oasis was released by developer Ancient under the Sega name to help fill... Read Full Review
