I saw this game on play-asia on sale for 20 bucks brand new! It is made by Taito and looks similar to Cadash. Anyone ever play it?

It's playable, but really, really stiff. That's not a complete ripoff considering it's brand new, but I probably wouldn't pay more than $10. Maybe if you're combining shipping on a few things. If you don't expect Cadash or the Legendary Axes, you might not mind it.

Doesn't seem promising. Thanks for the heads up! Maybe check it out somewhere down the line.

Rastan Saga II? Beware. It is a terrible, terrible game!

The worst part has to be the sprites, they're huge and super ugly!

hmmm yea its not bad but I wouldn't class it as a must own.. its alright for short 5 min's play..

I thought the best bits about the game was the sprites since they are huge.

Worst gotta be the really tinny sound.

there's always been a bit I think it's on lvl 3 that I could never get past.

poore, more poore, poorest! it's a truly shame, what they did to that game. the prequel was/is one of my favorite arcade games ever made! this one is the 180° contrary of it in every aspects! it never deserves to hold that name!

Ugg played the arcade version in mame.

Clunky controlls and huge sprites makes me want to throw up

Heck i rather play Rastan III over II.

It's so bad I regret the $10 I spent on it.

It's not that bad of a game, but you guys probably think I am biased since I love crappy games

. But in all honesty, I definitely think it's a playable game, it's just not as fun or fancy as some others out there, though it was cool to acquire all of those different weapons. It's a lot more playable than Energy for sure.

But I thought that it was supposed to have thumping tunes?

If you mean I want to thump the composer then yes, that's spot on!

why they just couldn't bring a port of the original rastan saga to our lovely system? the PCE could handle an almost 1:1 port without any doubts! same question to konami, because the missing of a port of contra! would just fit perfectly next to akuamjô dracula x & gradius II gofer no yabô! wouldn't it?

Those games would've been great to see on PCE.
