    Why didn't anyone tell me ActRaiser Renaissance looked like a Sega Saturn game? Seriously prerendered CG character vibes like Clockwork Knight or some shit! Well, I guess some of the bad guys are 3D models but still

    I sometimes fantasize about a new ActRaiser game that still has the god game elements unlike ActRaiser 2. I know ActRaiser Renaissance exists and I played it day 1, but I want moooore.

    God Actraiser Renaissance is good. Started a new game on PC this time. I know it might not be for everyone, but it's exactly as that post the other day said- the weirdo prerendered aesthetic has overwhelming 32-bit vibes in lovely HD. Sim mode has way more to do. Expanded story and art are rad.

    Starting Ariana and the Elder Codex today, proper, for a quick fun game. So far the combat is favorably reminiscent of Actraiser Renaissance (especially the timed repairs are familiar to those timed demon gate closures).

    *I know Actraiser Renaissance is a thing, but even people involved with remaking that game didn't seem to know what was up with the rest of the Quintet catalog. I'm talking Soulblazer, Illusion of Gaia, heck even Robotrek and Granstream Saga, let's see 'em!

    This game is so cool (as well as the other similar Quintet games), but I feel like it's so hard without a guide I've been hoping for some sort of Quintet game collection ever since they did Actraiser Renaissance, but I don't think it sold well

    we have ActRaiser Renaissance, now we need ActRaiser 2 Reformation idk maybe i haven't played a good side-scrolling action game in a while, and i always felt actraiser 2 was strangely compelling despite being less unique than the first one

    SolSeraph is the indie game you're thinking of, and THAT was pretty deplorable. ActRaiser: Renaissance is decent enough, it just adds in some annoying tower defense portions during the simulation aspects, so you have to be more strategic with your construction directions.

    Hey all! Right now we're continuing Actraiser Renaissance! We've got some Tower Defense in our God Game and Action Platforme, that's cool. We're in Bloodpool, Blackpool's lesser known sister city. Can we kick out Tanzra's demons? Come in and find out! #vtuber #vsky twitch.tv/uncle_bandit

    having watched a friend stream its first playthrough of the original today, decided to go back to ActRaiser Renaissance I do like this version of the game but man I actually forgot how much stuff they added in to pad out the citybuilding segments.

    The moment I saw the tower defense portions, I audibly groaned I can't STAND tower defense games for some reason and them putting it in a platformer/sim game just kinda put me off of ActRaiser Renaissance But yeah, so true about the soundtrack :>

    Actraiser Renaissance complete. Not a deep game at all but really fun and old school. If you want something unique like a peanut butter Burger, this is your game. One part Castvania like, One part RTS lite. Story had some fun moments, especially when bosses got to be characters. 8/10

    "Remaster" is one of those weasel words that can mean what the user wants. A few years back Square Enix kept referring to ActRaiser Renaissance as a remaster of the SNES game, though it was clearly built from the ground up for modern machines.

    In May I got to the final boss in Pepper Grinder, a drill-based platformer. I finished Ender Lilies, a good metroidvania (a bit souls-like). I finished Actraiser: Renaissance. In June I finished Astrolancer a Guardian Legend like game. I started, but never finished Tunic. 3/6

    Play ActRaiser Renaissance! Okay before everyone throws things at me, I was surprised at the story they added to that version of the game. I don't know of any games like ActRaiser, but god do I wish they existed. I wish they'd just make another one with the god game elements...

    Actraiser Renaissance really shouldn't exist. That's not a knock on it- I love it! It's incredible! But it's insane that a game that I love so much, that other people seem so so indifferent about, got a remake that makes so many strange decisions that feel like they're for me and no one else alive.

    It still think it looks like a mobile game, but Actraiser Renaissance got it's hooks in me. I stayed up a little late last night playing it lol. There's far too many RTS/Tower defense style mechanics in the town building sections.

  • Mark🐉Edits🖤 🏹 @gutsdozer.bsky.socialBluesky · Mar 6, 2026

    ActRaiser Renaissance. They padded it out with tower defense minigames in the city-building segments, which is decent, but it takes up a lot of the game. I would've liked more building options instead, but I guess they weren't going full next-gen with it. More like a faithful update with extras.

    Such an awesome game, the remaster ActRaiser Renaissance is worth anyone’s time especially if they never got to play the original. The sequel was okay but removed the God city building aspects, & the spiritual sequel Sol Seraph tried to capture the original’s charm but was a bit lacking overall.

    Problem with Actraiser Renaissance is when the game is like "let the people do whatever for a bit" and there's a delay so you think it's safe to open the pause menu and you accidentally frame perfect skip a cutscene

    Thinking about doing a return stream sometime this week. It's been a long time since I tried streaming the Super Metroid x Link to the Past randomizer. Think that might be a good one to ease back into things. First full modern game I play through will probably be ActRaiser Renaissance! -Kingbert

    There's an old video game called Actraiser. I had it on the SNES. In 2021 the developers, Sonic Powered and Square Enix, released Actraiser Renaissance. I had the game in my Steam library but never played it. I've been feeling down so I thought I'd finally play it.
