I'm currently playing Crystalis. I rented it when it first came out and loved it, though I never finished it.
It's not really a Zelda clone, more action-RPG than action-adventure, and I love the elemental sword and magic mechanics. It gives you a good amount of variation without being overwhelming or too limited.
I don't like how enemies are immune to certain elements, requiring the player to switch swords. I think it would be better with reduced damage.
I had to restart the whole game from near the end because of how the save and load game system works. It makes it easy to mistakenly save over your game, wiping out your progress, an annoying flaw.
The setting is great, it's a mix of fantasy and sci-fi that feels like something out of classic pulp adventure stories from the 60s-80s.
Crystalis is an example of a game that should have had a sequel or spiritual follow up, did SNK do anything remotely like it for any other platform?
What are your favorite NES or non Neo-Geo SNK games?
