    Guardian Heroes was an outstanding RPG beat 'em up on Sega Saturn. It had

    • a two player co-op storyline with branching choices to get alternate endings

    • unlockable characters for a 6-player arena mode

    • incredibly unique characters to unlock, spellcasting with ➡️⬅️⬆️⬇️ input

    • and a kick ass soundtrack.

    Nothing has really scratched the same itch since (yes, I’m aware there’s a sequel, but it’s terrible).

      The anime Uncle From Another World talks about Guardian Heroes a lot. It’s a fun show you should chek it out.

      That sounds great. The kind of game I’d’ve loved but never had any Sega consoles (and no one really spoke about emulating them) so missed all of it.

          Alas, also no dedicated gaming device newer than a 3DS.

          I am thinking about getting a Steam deck of some kind though. Maybe it’ll be playable on that?
