Game: Terranigma
System: Super Nintendo
Version: (EU) NTSC Patched

This is a longplay of the game Terranigma, an action RPG developed by Quintet and distributed by Enix, released exclusively for the Super Nintendo, first in Japan (where it is known as Tenchi Sozo) in 1995 and in Europe and Oceania in 1996.

In Terranigma, the planet has a peculiar characteristic: it is possessed by two souls, both with completely different influences. Lightside is the face of prosperity, intelligence, and life, while Darkside represents disharmony, chaos, and fear. The two forces are trapped in a conflict that lasts billions of years, a cycle in which one of the souls dominates for a time, until a new direct combat occurs. Because of this, humanity gave another name to the conflicting spirits: God and Demon. The evil force has been dominating the world for several eras, and the remaining humans live in the underworld, a desert place full of lava rivers.

The game's story centers around a boy named Ark, who lives in Crysta, the only city in the underground world. He enjoys a carefree and mischievous life, surrounded by various people, including the Elder (who leads the city) and his friend Elle, for whom Ark harbors deep affection. All this changes when Ark opens the infamous Pandora's Box (despite being warned against it) and causes a great disaster in his world, freezing everyone (except himself and the Elder). The Elder explains that to save everyone, Ark must climb and face the challenges of five towers scattered throughout the underworld, each representing a continent to be revived in the upper world. The young boy emerges victorious, saving everyone in the village, but his mission is only beginning. The Elder of Crysta informs him that he must now go to the upper world and restore life to the planet. With no other choice, Ark sets off for the unknown lands on a great journey that holds more secrets than he could have imagined. Now, Ark needs to resurrect the entire world, from plants and animals to humanity, and experience all the world's progress through various historical events, such as the birth of cities, the creation of various means of transportation, the development of science and technology, among other factors that explain the history of humanity. The great strength of the plot lies in the dualities between Light and Darkness, Creation and Destruction. As humanity progresses, greed, pollution, and inequality also emerge, leading the player to reflect on whether human progress has truly been beneficial to the planet.

On his journey, Ark will encounter various characters who will assist him in his mission. In addition, he will be supervised by Yomi, a flying creature that Ark found inside Pandora's Box and which will also serve as an icon for selecting items and spells.

The game is an action RPG, and Ark attacks enemies using spears and staves, possessing a variety of attacks whether standing still, running, or jumping. By defeating enemies, Ark accumulates money to buy items and experience to become stronger. There are also attack, defense, and healing spells, but these are used through rings and pins, which can be obtained by exchanging Magirocks (rare magic stones) in magic shops. Throughout the game, Ark obtains better weapons and armor, either through purchases, finding them in chests, or receiving them from characters upon completing missions. Besides the common weapons and armor, there are also 4 special versions, which occupy a prominent place in their respective menus within Pandora's Box.

Terranigma is the third and final game in the Soul Blazer trilogy (which brings together the games Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma). While there are many similarities in both gameplay and plot between the three titles, they are not officially recognized as a trilogy, although many fans consider the three games to be interconnected in some way.

The game was not released in North America because Enix had already closed its U.S. branch by the time localization was finished, and has not been re-released due to complicated rights issues.

Without a doubt, Terranigma is one of the most beautiful games on the Super Nintendo, and also one of the last released for that console. It boasts excellent graphics that take full advantage of the Super Nintendo's capabilities, a memorable soundtrack composed by Miyoko Takaoka and Masanori Hikichi, and art by Kamui Fujiwara, in addition to having very good and intuitive gameplay. It's my favorite of the Soul Blazer trilogy, having received very positive reviews. The video was recorded collecting all the chests, obtaining all the armor and special weapons, and all the Magirocks in the game. I hope you like it.
