Mystic Defender

[Melf]

Remember when the Genesis launched and there were so many cool games to play? Yes, that September and the following months were chock full of great releases, and among them was Mystic Defender, a spiritual sequel, of sorts, to the Master System's SpellCaster. It had great graphics and gameplay, and plenty of weird enemies to dispatch. Read our full review (http://www.sega-16.com/forum/../Review-%20Mystic%20Defender.htm) and see why you need to track down a copy pronto.

I need to do no such thing! In fact I already have the game, no need to have two. Geesh!

If you have a language switch on your Genesis, switch it to Japanese and play this game. Lots of new graphics.

Fun little game, and it isn't too hard to find. But when you get to the final boss, stop staring at it's boobs before you go blind.

In Japan, this was the sequel to Spellcaster. Spellcaster was Kujaku-Ou and Mystic Defender was Kujaku-Ou 2 Geneijou.

I remember when Sega was advertising Spellcaster as a Phantasy Star sequel.

LOL!!! I remember that!

CRV is right, the Japanese version is better graphically than the American version, with a totally different opening (possibly ending as well), as well as the player's sprite.

So does Mystic Defender take place after Phantasy Star 2?

Ah good ole Mystic Defender. I didnt like this game not because it was bad or ugly but a different reason. I had a friend introduce me to one of his buddies from school, he had a sega genesis and wanted to try out a few games because he only had two games (so did I batman and twin cobra).

We talked a few days and he was pumping up mystic defender as an awesome game. He told me if I can let him use batman the movie for a few days and I can use mystic defender. I decided to finally give him back the game after a few days and when I went to his house his parents told me that he went back home with his grandparents (in Texas; I live in Chicago, IL). I told his parents about the situation and they told me that he took his video game system.

Mystic defender was a decent game but batman the movie (for me) was worth at least ten times more then this game; also because I saved up my allowance for three months to buy Batman the game.
