{{stub}}''Rastan Saga'' is a 1987 sidescrolling action game originally developed by [[Taito]] for the arcades; it was ported to the [[Sega Master System]] in 1989 as '''''Rastan''''', since there was no Japanese release. A [[Sega Game Gear]] version of the port followed in 1991, which ''was'' released in Japan (Japan-only, even), so the '''''Rastan Saga''''' (ラスタン・サーガ) name was used.

'''''Rastan''''' is a side-scrolling action game developed by [[Taito]] and released for the [[Sega Master System]] in 1989. It is a port of their 1987 arcade game ''Rastan Saga''. A [[Sega Game Gear]] version of the port named '''''Rastan Saga''''' (ラスタン・サーガ) was released exclusively in Japan in 1991.
 +
 
 +
The game was followed by ''[[Rastan Saga II]]'' for the [[Sega Mega Drive]]. This version uses the ''Rastan Saga'' name even for its US release.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
A barbarian bounty hunter called Rastan has embarked on a quest to slay a dragon and rescue a princess. While on his way to the dragon's lair, Rastan must fight hordes of enemy monsters based on mythical creatures such as chimeras and harpies.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
The game is a side-scrolling platforming game played as the barbarian warrior Rastan. He ventures through seven rounds. Most rounds consist of an outdoor level, an indoor level, and a boss fight. Rastan moves with {{left}} and {{right}} and kneels with {{down}}. He jumps with {{2}} and jumps higher with {{up}}+{{2}}. He can jump off walls, which can be used to climb narrow vertical passages. He automatically grabs ropes, which he can swing from or climb with {{up}} and {{down}}.
 +
 
 +
Rastan swings his weapon with {{1}}. He can use his weapon while jumping or kneeling. He thrusts it upwards into the air with {{up}}+{{1}} or jabs it downwards with {{down}}+{{1}} while in midair. Rastan starts each level with a barbarian sword but can equip different weapons that he finds. He can also find defensive items such as shields that reduce the damage he takes from enemies. Both offensive and defensive items only last for a duration.
 +
 
 +
Rastan has a health gauge and loses health when he is attacked by or touches an enemy. He is also damaged by hazards such as lava or water. He loses a life if he runs out of health. His health bar is extended at the start of each round. The game ends if he runs out of lives.

Rastan is a side-scrolling action game developed by Taito and released for the Sega Master System in 1989. It is a port of their 1987 arcade game Rastan Saga. A Sega Game Gear version of the port named Rastan Saga (ラスタン・サーガ) was released exclusively in Japan in 1991.

The game was followed by Rastan Saga II for the Sega Mega Drive. This version uses the Rastan Saga name even for its US release.

Story

A barbarian bounty hunter called Rastan has embarked on a quest to slay a dragon and rescue a princess. While on his way to the dragon's lair, Rastan must fight hordes of enemy monsters based on mythical creatures such as chimeras and harpies.

Gameplay

The game is a side-scrolling platforming game played as the barbarian warrior Rastan. He ventures through seven rounds. Most rounds consist of an outdoor level, an indoor level, and a boss fight. Rastan moves with Left and Right and kneels with Down. He jumps with 2 and jumps higher with Up+2. He can jump off walls, which can be used to climb narrow vertical passages. He automatically grabs ropes, which he can swing from or climb with Up and Down.

Rastan swings his weapon with 1. He can use his weapon while jumping or kneeling. He thrusts it upwards into the air with Up+1 or jabs it downwards with Down+1 while in midair. Rastan starts each level with a barbarian sword but can equip different weapons that he finds. He can also find defensive items such as shields that reduce the damage he takes from enemies. Both offensive and defensive items only last for a duration.

Rastan has a health gauge and loses health when he is attacked by or touches an enemy. He is also damaged by hazards such as lava or water. He loses a life if he runs out of health. His health bar is extended at the start of each round. The game ends if he runs out of lives.
