Conan He-Man Kull Rastan

Publisher Hamster has announced that Rastan Saga is now available on Nintendo Switch and PS4 as part of the digital Arcade Archives series.

Originally released in arcades by Taito in 1987 and later ported to the SEGA Master System, Commodore 64, Apple II and Amstrad CPC, Rastan Saga (aka Rastan) is a Conan-inspired action game with perhaps one of the most under-appreciated soundtracks of the era (maybe because it never got an NES release?).

Players take control of the titular Rastan, a thief who challenges a dragon and his fearsome hordes to return treasures to the kingdom of Ceim. Thankfully, Rastan’s weapons and armor can be upgraded along the way, because you will probably need it. It’s not an easy journey, to be sure.

Like other Arcade Archives titles, players can post their high scores to the online leaderboards and change various game settings to match their own personal skill levels and taste.

Arcade Archives Rastan Saga is available today for $7.99 via PSN and the Nintendo Switch eShop.
