ActRaiser 2: Godly Master
アクトレイザー2 沈黙への聖戦 · ActRaiser 2: Chinmoku e no Seisen
A rebalance of the notoriously tough ActRaiser 2 by Lufia that softens instant deaths, improves air control and magic, and opens up more choice in stage order and upgrades.
What it is
Godly Master is a rebalance hack of the North American ActRaiser 2 by Lufia. It aims to take the edge off the game's harshest difficulty while giving the player more freedom in how to progress, with wider stage access and upgrades tied to the areas you have already conquered.
What changes
- spells can be cast instantly with the X button, as in the first ActRaiser
- spikes no longer kill instantly (except the moving spike walls that chase you), and other big hazards are capped at a fixed amount of damage
- much better air control, a shorter skid after landing from a glide, and no stage timer
- double the maximum spell points, spell points restored on death, and a reworked charge system that lets you cast without spending points
- the hidden password that leads straight to the Tanzra fight now works on any difficulty
