Saturen REVIEWS: Guardian Heroes
After playing and enjoying Guardian Heroes for a bit, a couple of people noted that the game was actually remastered for the Xbox 360 Live Arcade. That would technically disqualify this game from being reviewed as part of the Saturn Reviews series since a superior version exists on newer hardware. However, that would have robbed me of the opportunity to enjoy this pretty good game. Usually, I am not a big fan of Beat 'em Up games. Yet, this was a great leap forward for the genre, as it introduced some light RPG mechanics and a sense of character progression that I felt was missing from earlier classics of the genre. Overall, even though there exists a better version of Guardian Heroes in the wild, I don't regret playing this game at all. 28: Guardian Heroes: Year: 1996 in NA and Japan. Genre: Beat 'em Up. Publisher: Sega. Developer: Treasure.
