The Sega Genesis has more than its fair share of hidden gems and Arcus Odyssey is a prime example of a great game that is largely forgotten. This hack and slash RPG offers non stop action, four playable characters, and a slew of special abilities. Each hero has a weapon that is quite distinct from the other three heroes as well as an arsenal of spells. Each stage has its own unique look and feel as well. Players are also given a variety of foes and bosses to battle.
The graphics and sound are just about as good as they get on the Genesis, making this game stand out yet again as high quality title. There’s even some story progression that can change depending on the player’s actions, though this aspect of the game is fairly limited. All in all, Arcus Odyssey is a great title to pick up if you’re looking for a combat oriented adventure game.
