ActRaiser
Super Nintendo (SNES)Action
ActRaiser is a hybrid action-platformer and city-building simulation developed by Quintet and published by Enix for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The player controls the Master, a deity whose world has been damaged by the demon Tanzra and his servants. Each region alternates between direct combat in side-scrolling stages and overhead simulation sequences in which the Master guides rebuilding settlements. This unusual structure gives the game two distinct rhythms: precise swordplay and strategic town development. Its dramatic presentation, music, and ambitious genre combination earned strong historical recognition, although the action sections and simulation rules can feel demanding. ActRaiser is widely regarded as one of the SNES’s notable early showcases for cinematic audiovisual design and genre experimentation.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
