ActRaiser (Japan) [En by Aeon Genesis v1.0] ROM

This is an action/simulation RPG that revolves around the main character labeled the Master/god trying to rid the land of the evil Tanzra and his lieutenants. It's been several hundred years since the Master battled the evil Tanzra and his lieutenants, making this game more than likely the second in chronology . He reawakens to find his powers weakened, and the world filled with evil. Split into 6 lands with each being guarded by one of Tanzra's lieutenants. You must gain back your lost powers and free the people to be able to grow and prosper, this is done in 3 ways. The first being to go down and clear out some baddies in an action stage. When you gain more god powers you can select only one to take into an action stage, so choose carefully. The second stage of development is a sim, where you use your powers to develop the land and lead people to destroy demon nests as well as build houses. The third and final part to reclaim the land is go in for the last act and take down the lieutenant of that region. This often overlooked title is in my opinion the better of the 2 in this series, since you get to really get a feel that this protagonist is a god.
