【Soul Blazer】Squiggy's SNES First Level Quest (First Level Only of Super Nintendo Games)
7Sorry for the lack of uploads lately friends, I know it's been pretty staggered. We're gonna kill it in 2018, don't you worry about that. I mean it this time.
Today's game is Soul Blazer, and it's surprisingly fun. It's a fantasy/RPG style game that reminds me of early Zelda titles. Can't go wrong there, eh?
I actually quite enjoyed this one, even if it wasn't the simple space shooter episode I planned on making. I think this one's worth a playthrough.
This is a completely random question for anyone out there that reads these descriptions, but do you know a good place to buy cartridges of ROM hacks? I've been looking around the internet for them lately, but I can't find a reliable place. I've found a few on Etsy, I've found a few on eBay, but that's about it. I'm curious if anyone out there knows of a website dedicated to them.
Just thought I'd ask, a few people have said in the comments that they've played ROM hacks on cartridge before (hi Parma Jon), so I thought I'd randomly ramble in a completely unrelated video description as a weak attempt at solving this problem. Kind of dumb now that I think it through, but what's done is done and what's typed is typed. Can't change that.
Thanks for stopping by friends, I hope you enjoy the episode. We will be back hardcore in 2018, so send in those hacks, drop those recommended SNES games in the comments, and get ready for the Year of Squiggy. That's a big cocky, but it's important to have self-confidence so I'm going with it.

Soul Blazer, released in Japan as Soul Blader (ソウルブレイダー Sōru Bureidā), is an action role-playing game for the Super NES developed by Quintet and published by Enix (now Square Enix). Soul Blazer was released on January 31, 1992 in Japan, on November 27, 1992 in North America, and on January 27, 1994 in Europe. The player takes the role of The Master's servant, to destroy monsters and release the captured souls of a world's inhabitants. Soul Blazer was scored by Yukihide Takekawa.
The player frees a series of towns by fighting monsters in traditional dungeon crawl battles. Destroying monster lairs in the dungeons causes a soul belonging to a former town occupant to be liberated and reincarnated. This is often a human, but it could be anything from a dolphin to a talking tulip. As souls are freed, the town is reconstructed around the people. The new town occupants give the player advice and items. When the player defeats the boss monster imprisoning the soul of the head of each town, the area is cleared and the player can continue. After the hero frees the first six villages, he is granted access to the "World of Evil", where the final villain awaits.
The Master sends one of his heavenly divine companions in the form of a human warrior to the Freil Empire, where the evil spirit Deathtoll has destroyed all villages and incarcerated the souls of all living creatures in his monster lairs, leaving the world empty. The warrior must defeat the monsters and liberate the inhabitants from the lairs, gradually repopulating the kingdom.
The warrior travels throughout the kingdom, defeating monsters in each of six regions to gather six magic stones, each a different color, in order to open the path to Deathtoll, who now resides in the World of Evil. The warrior must also find three sacred artifacts to call upon the power of the phoenix to defeat Deathtoll.
On the way, the warrior falls in love with Lisa, the daughter of a brilliant inventor named Dr. Leo. The warrior learns that the world's devastation came about after King Magridd imprisoned Dr. Leo and forced him to make a machine to contact Deathtoll. After being summoned, Deathtoll offered the king a gold piece for each soul from his kingdom, and under the counsel of his wife, Magridd agreed, but was eventually imprisoned himself. Dr. Leo is still in Magridd Castle's prison after the warrior frees him, and Leo later sacrifices his life to kill the queen, who still wanted to bargain with Deathtoll.
---[ Series Information ]---------------
Squiggy's SNES First Level Quest is a series where I attempt to beat the first level of every SNES game. Some will be chosen randomly, some chosen because I liked them when I was younger, and some chosen by viewer request. This isn't necessarily a review or first impression or anything - the only true goal is to first define "What is Level 1 in this game?" and then beat it.
