@@whatamalikeYou say that like its a bad thing but I actually loved DMC2 and Rastan 2 still. Then they both followed up with an even more badass third game!
I agree with the description.. I will also add that the main character's proportions are all over the place. The low number of animation frames make him look even worse.. especially the unmoving torso and incorrectly attached legs.
i like the graphics plus the original becomes enhanced and much more appreciated your the type that orders a bigmac then the next day you wonder why do your chicken nuggets not taste like your bigmac? because its not the same thing you wanted 5 years of streetfighter 2 thats what you really need
I quite liked this as a kid through Taito Legends 2, but nowadays it's one of Taito's lowest moments, not as low as the unfinished Megablast, but still pretty dire. Soundtrack's pretty good, though.
I remember playing it a few times when I was a child with a limited amount of coins. Mostly watched my friends or other people play and spend quite a few coins to keep advancing. I don't recall seeing the ending but it comes to mind how some stages were pretty difficult.
I can honestly say that I didn't realize there was a sequel. Only to find out in 2023 there were 2 more Rastan games. That said, neither one looks as well made as the original. 3 looks like a shitty Golden Axe but slower. Still cool to find these.
The ending is unfulfilling and abrupt, but the music is very good and the visuals are amazing. 😈 I don't know what the female voice is saying, but she adds a great sense of mystery to the gaming experience. Yes it's flawed, but there's a lot for me to appreciate here.
At the end, the two player character have to fight each other for... I dunno, the right to become the King. I don't remember which arcade collection that provided the game for me -- most likely one of the Taito Collections on the PS2 -- but I played through the game with a friend and I remember just going "....really?!" I mean... the game was already disappointing enough as it was, but man....
"entry credit", "yes we" do.... when you pick a thunder or fire emblem it seems to say "rosenkreuz" and there is another phrase when you pick the life up item but i forgot what it is because its pretty rare to appear....
I feel like this one was called Nastar Warrior (Rastan Saga) in my area. While the graphics might be considered better, the music and gameplay seem so much like a step back in quality.
There was a third game that had a choice of three characters:Rastan, a thief and a balanced character. It was because of this game’s poor showing that it didn’t get an appearance in most arcades. If you have MAME though, you might be able to play it.
Un juego que marco,los mejores momentos de videojugador de niño,en las Arcades o maquinitas acá en los méxicos,🇲🇽 recuerdo gastarme todo mi domingo para terminar el juego una joya de las arcades,🕹️⚔️🔥
Aquí en la ciudad de México había afuera del metro estación Juarez de la línea 3 del metro 🚇 unas maquinitas y ahí, ahí estaba esté juego el cuál yo iba desde dónde vivía hasta ahí para pasar horas y horas solo para esté juego. Mi Madre jamás supo que ahí yo iba 😂😢😢😂
Played this once or twice. What a difference from the original Rastan! The female voice freaked me out. It has a crystal twinkling quality. Is she speaking Japanese? Can't tell
I beat the first and third Rastan games at the start of this year and had a blast with them, but I knew the second one was terrible so I didn't touch it, this is my first time seeing it in action and....wow, it's worse than I could ever have imagined. Why is Rastan so slow, what are these odd hazards (floating electric clouds, giant centipedes that fly around randomly and THE GIANT STONE DUDE THAT APPEARS ONLY ONCE), what the hell are those creepy voices saying ("anti-cronell"....? That' my best guess) and why does the game look worse than the first one?
Why Taito just WHY?!!! One of the best games of the era and you have us two (one which is Terrible this one) disjointed games that don’t feel like the original at all. All we wanted was the same visual aesthetic as the first game with some more variation in levels, enemies and bosses with maybe. Little new variation in gameplay! Why? That could have and should have been amazing. What happened ? Perhaps we can get one today maybe. 2.5 D like Bloodstained?!
This looks ok, though i think the first one was way better. Better music, atmosphere etc. This one looks too 'cartoony' and peculiar sequel considering it came from the same developers...
This looks, moves and plays so much worse than the first Rastan. Maybe I am in minority but I never liked the 'bigger bolder slower" sequels to such games. Example: I much prefer first Golden Axe to all the sequels. It has this charm that others don't IMHO.
the first rastan game was legendary. This was pure tripe!!. music would make your ears bleed. animation of rastan appalling. he looks like hes constipated
I have that game on my PlayStation 2 in a compilation called TAITO LEGENDS 2. It is as good as the original prequel RASTAN. Also, you can play a 2-player mode with a friend 😺👍🕹️🕹️.
“uncharacteristically poor show of form for Taito” You say that, but I honestly think not even half of their arcade output, especially from this era, ever came past mediocre. Taito was always a seriously overrated company in my eyes.
This game was the HUGEST disappointment of my genesis childhood. As a kid, I had one game to buy for Christmas, and the box art faked me real good. I realised my mistake the moment the game began, with the horrible music loudly played on top of the bright and colorful world. What am I playing, Adventure Island? Then when the character started to walk, I almost laughed. His cross leg walking style was pathetic, but even more pathetic was his walking speed.. and that single artwork for jump is ridiculously lazy. The only good thing about this game was the claws weapon, but only when he 'scratches' upwards, cuz other than that, it looks dumb af to say the least. Stay away from this game at all cost.

Never saw this before. This is one of the biggest step backs in quality I've ever seen in a sequel. Bleck..
Absolutely running on bare minimum chips
Devil May Cry 2 vibes
Yeah. Luckily they made up for it with Rastan 3.
How so?
@@baardbi
True.
Rastan Saga = nice graphics.
Rastan 2: wtf!
RaStan Saga 3= the best graphics in a classic videogame ever!
I remember being so devastated by this sequel. Rastan 1 was one of the greatest arcade games of all time. Was the sequel made by a different company?
Sadly no, it’s always made by Taito
I'd say same company, different team. Same situation with Devil may cry 2
@@whatamalikeYou say that like its a bad thing but I actually loved DMC2 and Rastan 2 still. Then they both followed up with an even more badass third game!
but isn't it cool how this game makes the original an even more of a masterpiece
@@TurbotefHey chief you are wrong chief. The sequel is trash.
I remember seeing this game as a kid in my local arcade and never playing it because I thought Rastan walked too slow lol!
0:41 “Yes, we do.”
I could never understand what the woman says in the game.
What the voice says at 0:54?
15:12 when I played this as I kid, I thought this was a level design error and was impossible to continue
No, this was: 18:30
@@JediMasterBaiterThat’s just so unreal.

Mí Favorito es Rastan 1, Alguien sabe sí llegó a salír el 3?
very well played took me a while to me made it I liked rastan 1 and 2 aswell used to play both at arkades thx for sharing also the ost was awesome
I remember playing it a few times when I was a child with a limited amount of coins. Mostly watched my friends or other people play and spend quite a few coins to keep advancing. I don't recall seeing the ending but it comes to mind how some stages were pretty difficult.
The music on this game is fantastic, love the boss fight music.
I always loved the laughing lady's voice. Even as a little kid I thought it was really seductive sounding
uno de mis mejores juegos y la música de lo mejor
What does she say at the beginning g enmity crème’s?
Such sick music. Doesn't deserve all the hate. That blocking mechanic is pretty cool once you get the hang of it
I can honestly say that I didn't realize there was a sequel. Only to find out in 2023 there were 2 more Rastan games. That said, neither one looks as well made as the original. 3 looks like a shitty Golden Axe but slower. Still cool to find these.
What?! Warrior Blade was so badass they had to have an extra monitor just to show you how much more badassery this game had.
i haven't played the rastan series and now i'm interested. the music is catchy and the hero reminds me of simon belmont or ax battler
Rastan mi juego favorito, lo
Pasaba con 1 sola ficha aya por 1995
The ending is unfulfilling and abrupt, but the music is very good and the visuals are amazing. 😈 I don't know what the female voice is saying, but she adds a great sense of mystery to the gaming experience. Yes it's flawed, but there's a lot for me to appreciate here.
I hate that they changed the visual style from the first game.
It looks like an Atari Games arcade game from 1989-1991
I remember playing this arcade at the corner store. My cousin and I would only pass the first stage.
some of these enemies designs are pretty gnarly for 1988
I wish there was a Rastan arcade collection for all 3!
The Taito Memories series on Japanese PS2 has all 3 Rastan Saga games.
I commend you on your efforts. Sometimes the only way to prove your point is to show folks, no matter how painful. Otherwise they won’t believe.
I've seen this run plenty of times but I've never seen a 2 Player run before. Would be pretty cool to see someone do it at least once.
At the end, the two player character have to fight each other for... I dunno, the right to become the King. I don't remember which arcade collection that provided the game for me -- most likely one of the Taito Collections on the PS2 -- but I played through the game with a friend and I remember just going "....really?!"

Are the voices in this game saying anything or is it just gibberish?
"entry credit", "yes we" do.... when you pick a thunder or fire emblem it seems to say "rosenkreuz" and there is another phrase when you pick the life up item but i forgot what it is because its pretty rare to appear....
Thank you!!
la primera vez que lo jugue me la musica excelente, te atrapaba

How have I not seen this channel before ?? Oh well there goes more precious hours of my life 🤣 Subbed
Them legs though lol.
Oooh nice. I hope you do the entire series

Estaba chida la maquina, no pude terminarla con una moneda de mil pesos de la epoca. Musica muy buena y que decir de las armas.

I played this game when it was released. To this day it has the most OP music ever.
OP ?
What does mean OP.
Regards!
Played this once or twice. What a difference from the original Rastan! The female voice freaked me out. It has a crystal twinkling quality. Is she speaking Japanese? Can't tell
Does she say “An-Ti-Crown”? At the beginning of the game? 😅
For a Rastan sequel, i can't say i like it nor i don't like it, it's just a "meh" to me.
At least i do like the music.
Not as good as the first, but the Zuntata sound is there.
That end round boss music is jammin out. Thats about it.
Still the best Conan game out there. 😂
Childhood memories!
I remember this as a kid, I was so disappointed by this.
Awesome music!

The BSO of this game is fucking increible.
Wow the graphics are actually worse than the first
I had the Genesis version (bargain priced) but never realized they actually made an arcade version... looks similar and that's not a good thing.
The first rastan makes this look like garbage.
The Zuntata sound team really made an effort on this sequel. Shame the same thing couldn't be said about the developers 🤭
Supporting with like 👍
The sprites are a bit naff. They look like something from a Commodore Amiga or Atari ST game rather than an arcade game.
this game is from 1988 after all
Even though the graphics and level design took a step back, the music and sound design sound amazing! Rastan 1 still just plays better though.
Buen Gameplay!, La Espadón de 2 Manos esta chetadisima hace parrys mejor que el Shield o Escudo
Why Taito just WHY?!!!

I feel like this game owes Altered Beast a sincere apology.🤦 The Centaur boss belongs in a Zelda game and are those Spiny from Super Mario Bros???
cool music but man the gameplay is sluggish. what went wrong
Like going from 16 bit glory to 8 bit gee wiz.
I could never understand what the woman says in the game.
the first rastan game was legendary. This was pure tripe!!.
music would make your ears bleed. animation of rastan appalling. he looks like hes constipated
Sound might became better but Look at that animation. It's gotten much worse compared with last year.
Something about the way he's always looking up really irritated me as a kid.
Yes... we do... no... we dont.
Hamster, unfortunately is bringing this game to the Nintendo Switch tomorrow. One to avoid for me!
I have that game on my PlayStation 2 in a compilation called TAITO LEGENDS 2.
It is as good as the original prequel RASTAN.
Also, you can play a 2-player mode with a friend 😺👍🕹️🕹️.
Not just bad, terrible is being polite bad graphics music dire level and character design
It wants to be Magic Sword so bad ...but it just sux
Feelings like it «Altered Beast» from another realm . . . Hm...
This game looks TERRIBLE! The original Rastan looks so much better than this shit!
Concordo,meglio il primo rastan

That ending was worse than street fighter.
A big No
First one was better
What a convoluted story, and all a bunch of messed up, jumbled up, broken English. At least you breezed on through.
Wow so short and underwhelming
Wow this is terrible compared to the first one. This is very hard on the eyes.
Okay I love the characters he fight but I don't like the music and the game is a cheater
Que fracaso
The sequel is worse than the original. Horrible.
wow that looks absolutely terrible
one of worst sequels in history of games
Rastan is a classic.....this one.....is not
This game looks absolutely terrible. It's programmed to move so slow and the graphics are Gameboy first Gen status. Terrible all the way around 🤢
This is garbage
horrible game, rastan saga 1 is 10000000x better
