About Dark Savior

Dark Savior is a hybrid action RPG and beat 'em up developed by Climax Entertainment and published by Sony Music Entertainment for the Sega Saturn in 1996. It presents players with a unique blend of 3D exploration and combat set against pre-rendered backgrounds.

In Dark Savior, you primarily control Burroughs, a robot with various weapons and abilities. However, the game allows you to switch on the fly to other characters like Caesar, a powerful beastman who excels in close combat, or Adeleine, a nimble human girl. Each character offers a different approach to overcoming obstacles and enemies. You'll traverse environments, engage in real-time battles using a combination of attacks and special moves, and solve environmental puzzles to progress.

What makes Dark Savior stand out is its narrative structure. Your decisions throughout the game, from dialogue choices to how you approach certain situations, directly impact the story's progression and can lead to one of several different endings. This replayability encourages exploration of different paths and character interactions within the game's sci-fi setting. The presentation combines 3D character models with detailed pre-rendered environments, giving Dark Savior a distinct visual style for its time.
