Rygar

The game is an active adventure with two modes: side view and top view. The main character is a warrior with a spiked shield on a chain. The enemies in the game are various never-before-seen creatures. They can be hit or jumped over. The knight has an inventory in which items found are displayed. Progression is non-linear, as in Metroid: you have to explore locations, many of which are only available after finding useful prizes. There is the possibility to pump up the hero (like in RPG).
