A premise that is leaps and bounds more fun than the game itself. Credits to the fan translation for seeming to excavate a little flavour out of this barren wasteland of fetch-quests, backtracking and Street Fighter 1 grade combat.

Speakin of fan translations though, I stumbled upon an ongoing project for the (much more interesting looking) Dreamcast remake that seems to be going along nicely. Keeping my eyes on this!!!! The Rent-A-Hero formula is inches away from winning me over.
