ActRaiser 2

"'I'm the best around! Nothing's ever gonna bring me down! Except ActRaiser 2...' - plasticallan during his Let's Play of ActRaiser"ActRaiser 2 is a platformer for the SNES developed by Quintet (developers of The Granstream Saga) and published by Enix (now part of Square Enix).

Plot
In this game, God -- known as the Master -- embarks on a quest to destroy Satan -- known as Tanzra -- and save many of the world's civilizations by destroying various demons. This plot might sound familiar, and that's because it's basically the plot of the original ActRaiser. The main difference is that, in this one, the demons are themed after the seven deadly sins specifically.

Gameplay
Compared to the original ActRaiser, this game is a pure platformer -- lacking the original's "god game" aspects -- and has similar mechanics, in addition to a gliding ability for the Master (incredibly clunky) and an expanded magic system that doesn't require you to equip spells (nice in theory, but also incredibly clunky). It's also noticeably harder and doesn't give the player anywhere near as much of an ease-in period.

Allan's playthroughs
Allan has played it twice and both playthroughs have driven him to the edge of madness. As such, this has made it somewhat of a meme among the community.
