Guardian Heroes (No Obi)

Relive the golden age of classic side-scrolling brawlers on home console hardware with Guardian Heroes for the Sega Saturn! Originally developed by action maestro Treasure and published by Sega on its historic Japanese launch date of January 26, 1996, this highly acclaimed masterpiece seamlessly blends chaotic arcade beat 'em up combat with deep role-playing mechanics. Players choose from a roster of distinct warriors to fight off massive armies alongside a powerful, autonomous undead knight. Navigate intense battlegrounds spread across three distinct horizontal planes, level up your stats in real-time, and make critical narrative choices that alter the storyline and lead to multiple unique endings! 

Gamer Fact: Rather than keeping the multiplayer action confined to a standard two-player campaign, Treasure pushed the 32-bit hardware to its limits by including a legendary 6-player versus mode. By utilizing the Sega Saturn Multi-Player Adaptor (the S-Terminal Multi-Tap), friends could fight against each other using not only the main roster but also unlocking almost every enemy sprite, boss, and civilian NPC encountered throughout the game—making it one of the largest and most chaotic local multiplayer modes of its generation!
