How it plays
How does ActRaiser play?
The action stages use a side-view perspective. The Master runs, jumps, attacks with his sword, and casts a selected spell while progressing through hazardous terrain and boss encounters. Defeating a region’s stage boss opens the way to its simulation section.
In simulation mode, the Master flies above a settlement and fires arrows at monsters, destroys nests, and directs the growth of roads and houses. Residents expand the town, provide useful information, and eventually reveal the route to a second action stage. Completing that stage and its boss advances the campaign toward Tanzra.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play ActRaiser?
Learn the Master’s sword range and attack timing before relying on spells. Jump attacks are useful against many enemies, but careless movement near pits and projectiles is costly.
In simulation sections, clear monster nests quickly and connect settlements with roads. Protecting population growth gives the Master more room to develop each region and helps reveal the next action stage.
