Great Saturn Game

Astal is a great platform game for the Sega Saturn. All of the levels in Astal are colorful, detailed, and look great; Astal is probably the best looking 2D game on the Saturn. Most of the levels are fairly easy and the game can be finished rather quickly, but it is still very fun. Some of the levels can get a little challenging but most of the time they are easy. Astal plays like a traditional platform game but does incorporate some features that make it unique. For example, instead of jumping on enemies (like Mario or Donkey Kong) to defeat them, you have several options regarding how to dispose of them. The standard attack is to throw enemies. If you are being swarmed by a group of enemies you can make Astal inhale and then have him blow them all away. Another interesting aspect of Astal is that you can use your bird to perform special attacks on enemies. You can also send him to fetch items for you that you can use to restore your health. Overall, Astal is an excellent game that every Sega Saturn owner should have. Pros: - Excellent 2D graphics - Well designed and fun levels - Great music and sound effects Cons: - Too shortRead full review
