Description official descriptions

A long time ago, evil descended upon the peaceful people of Hydlide. Old legends tell of a lone brave hero who saved Hydlide from the imminent threat of doom - the evil demon Varalys. Since then, the people of Hydlide have lived through centuries of peace. But one dark evening, a huge column of fire exploded out of the depths of Hydlide. The next morning, strange doors began to appear from nowhere. Many who were curious entered these doors, but were never seen again. From that day on, unusual events and disasters began to take place. Huge cracks opened in the ground, scarring the beautiful lands, floods wiped out entire villages. And then the monsters came. The Hydlide council feared that the same evil in the legends was back again. A wise old oracle predicted the second coming of evil. He also spoke of a young man who could save Hydlide from the grave danger. This young man is you...

Super Hydlide (originally entitled Hydlide 3: The Space Memories) is the third entry in the Hydlide series, continuing its action RPG legacy. Character creation allows the player to choose one of the four character classes: Warrior, Thief, Priest, and Monk. In combat, the protagonist uses melee or long-ranged weapons or casts magic spells. Unlike the previous games in the series, the player is required to press the attack button during melee combat, instead of simply "bumping" into the enemies. There is an internal clock in the game, which makes it necessary for the protagonist to sleep periodically and regain his strength. The main character also has to eat from time to time, otherwise his hit points will gradually decrease. The morality system from the previous game returns: killing friendly creatures will reduce the player's morality level, which will eventually have an effect on one of the game's most decisive battles.

It's a bird it's a plane it's Super Hydlide!

The Good
Super Hydlide is the sequel to the NES RPG Hydlide. In Super Hydlide to fantasy world of Hydlide is in peril once again and it is up to you to save it.

Save Hydlide again! As a hero of your own making it is up to you to save the world again. Arise hero, your destiny beckons! You must travel the world doing RPG type things, fighting monsters, exploring towns, crawling in dungeons, all that good stuff.

The Graphics in this game are crap. It does not even look like a Genesis, game more like a NES.

The Gameplay, is solid if not a little redundant. Dungeons are large and take quite a bit of time to finish. The fighting is real time, action RPG. And can also be quite challenging.

The Music in this game is godly. I cannot believe how good it is. This game is worth playing just to hear the epic score. There is not a tune that disappoints, it is all incredible.

The Bad
The game is too hard. The Graphics are shit. What else do I have to say?

The Bottom Line
Overall I would play this one just to listen to the music, there is a village where you can listen to the music, so fire up the game go there and enjoy the music.
