I have a decent amount of nostalgia for ActRaiser, I think mainly because it was one of the first SNES games I played and it looked and sounded so much better than the NES stuff I spent most of my time with, so it was one of those games for that system that truly captivated my imagination. Which would ordinarily mean I'd have some sort of desire to play this game, as I do occasionally bust out reviews for games I played simply due to some sort of nostalgia factor.

But tower defense stuff added to the mix? No thanks. I'm on the other end of the opinion on that than you, not being a fan. Hell, I remember with the last Ezio Assassin's Creed game how, if you were too active in being an assassin without paying off guys to lower your infamy, you'd have to do a tower defense sequence around a district's hideout. After doing the tutorial one to let you know what you were facing, I made sure to pay off people every single time I did anything to raise that infamy even a tiny bit. Just not my thing.


I'm not afraid to die because I am invincible
Viva la muerte, that's my goddamn principle
