ActRaiser is a video game developed by Quintet and published by Enix for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, first released in Japan in December 1990 and in North America in November 1991. It combines two entirely different styles of gameplay — a side-scrolling action platformer and an overhead city-building simulation — in a way that shouldn't work and yet does, with remarkable confidence.
The premise is a loose allegory for Judeo-Christian monotheism, though Nintendo of America required Quintet to tone down the religious references for Western releases. The player controls The Master, a godlike being who awakens from a long sleep to find the world overrun by evil forces led by a demon named Tanzra. Accompanied by an angel, the Master must reclaim the six regions of the world and guide their human populations back to prosperity.
