Beyond Oasis review - Sega Megadrive

You are the young Prince Ali in a desperate fight to defeat the evil that is threatening your island empire, Oasis.

Long ago, a war raged between a wicked sorcerer who used a silver "armlet" to unleash destruction on the island and a wizard who defied him with a gold armlet that could summon four powerful spirits. Both armlets had been lost until recently when someone unearthed the silver band and began using it for their evil gain.

Just when you think all is lost, you discover the precious gold armlet and finally have the power to combat the wearer of the silver band but can you stop them in time?

This has to be one of the most overlooked games on the MD. It played brilliantly, had graphics on par with Zelda(Link To The Past) and atmospheric tunes by Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi). There were plenty of imaginitive touches that made this game feel like it must have been a labour of love to create. I did find it quite easy to finish, but it's a joy while it lasts. I rediscovered this recently on a PS3 compilation (also released on Xbox360) and was impressed all over again. Play it!
