I'm not sure there is a such thing as a hidden gem anymore. But this game is one that many missed out on back in the day. Even now if you look at a video of someone playing it you'll see that you have better looking games on your cell phone. And the game play looks like it is about as basic as it gets... But even with that being said there is something that draws you into this game. There's not much of a story, but the more you play the more you unlock of the world and the deeper you go into the dungeons. It's somehow so simple and so addictive. This game is going for a pretty penny these days, but I highly recommend it!

Soul Blazer is 100% everything I want in a game of this genre. Good clean controls, simple but original story, superb soundtrack and satisfying combat. It has the fun of a Zelda game but with a darker and more mature theme yet keeping the cutsey Japanese feel. The USA version of this is the only affordable way to play this legitimately in English but I would say its worth every dollar.

Designed by Quintet, a quality dungeon crawler with creativity and sensible design. You play the role of a hero who can slash with his sword or cast a few magic spells. Dungeon design is interesting throughout, with a good variety of twists and turns and changing environment type. The story, while not perfectly translated, features more interesting characters than your average dungeon crawler. Unlike most dungeon crawlers, you open up town and dungeon areas by killing monsters in the dungeon. This makes visiting large towns less overwhelming, as you see more of the town piece by piece instead of walking in to a massive town. Also, 90% of the monsters stay dead when you revisit the dungeons, letting you focus on finding missed routes. Good controls and decent graphics and music round out a very good game. Also try: The semi-sequel, Illusion of Gaia (SNES) Controls are reliable and save points are well-spaced out.Read full review
I've played through this game more than 20 times over the years and I still love it now as much as I did years ago when it was first released for the Super Nintendo system. It takes the traditional action rpg and molds it together with some of the ideas found in the earlier Enix SNES game Actraiser. As you defeat groups of enemies you are basically releasing trapped souls of people. When you release these souls, they are then available to help you out on your quest. When you first arrive in a new area, you'll notice that there's not any people or houses around. This is where the fun begins as you get to start fighting enemies and releasing the people of an area. Then the peices of the puzzle begin to fall into place. The game features outstanding control and an easy enough challenge that anyone should be able to complete the quest. If you love a great action rpg, Soul Blazer will not dissapoint.Read full review
This is a game that i enjoyed as a child. I must have been searching for 2 year's before i ran across it on e-bay. To start you are sent down to earth by a god to help free various plant's,animal's,and human's.And most importaint of all freeing the inventor Dr.leo. They have all been captured by an evil monster and have been trapped in what are called monster den's. the gameplay is great. the game allow's you to find certin magical item's,armor and weapon's. Also there are many puzzel's through out the game.But nothing to difficult. The soundtrack is also very good. There is not really anything i could say bad about this game. I wish they would remake this title for a more powerful system. If you love game's that involve swordplay,magic and lot's of fantasy then this title is worth checking out. just to be sure i would never be lost without this game again. I bought 2. thank's e-bayRead full review
