It’s sort of like a bigger, deadlier version of a yo-yo, and in this game they are upgradeable.
Rygar fights with what is called a Diskarmor. I played this game all the way to the end and didn’t have too much trouble defeating any of the bosses until I got to the last one. The boss battles can be quite challenging until you figure out the right time to strike, then they aren’t so bad.
The story isn’t much to talk about, other than you having to fight your way through one location after another and taking out a boss before moving on to the next level. You will need quick reflexes to navigate your way around some of the puzzle-like obstacles that you encounter, though most of the combat is pretty basic.You won’t fight a very big variety of peon type monsters, and most of those encounters are a little too easy, so they do become monotonous. It is all presented in a third person perspective. This is a pretty well-done 3D action adventure game with the right balance of action mixed with exploration. The main thing this game has going for it are the gorgeous visuals, which were awesome on the PS2. The gameplay has some interesting aspects in terms of controls, and the boss fights can be quite challenging. It’s a far cry from the original Nintendo game, but still plenty of fun.
Rygar: The Legendary Adventure is a retro remake for the PS2 that involves a Roman warrior on a quest to save a princess.
