This is actually an interesting situation. How did you feel back then, after buying a game with cool and badass western fantasy art on the box and then finding out the actual game's art style is cute anime? Did you care about it at all?

It's a product of its time. The 80's was all about naked barbarians RPG's and Heavy Metal as you can see from the likes of D&D, Conan, Iron Maiden, HeroQuest, etc...

Alisia Dragoon has been recognized retrospectively as a relatively early video game to challenge a gender bias prevalent in the industry at the time. In the early 1990s, the video game market was skewed toward the young male demographic, with games often portraying women as "damsels in distress", requiring rescue by male protagonists.

It's really a good game with really awesome music, old school hard too, i played it for the first time this year and you reminded me that i didn't beat the final boss yet ! ( And for RetroArch people! It has retroachivements ! I know people here hate RetroArch and achievements in general! But if it makes people play old games without saves to get the hardcore achievements why not ? ) Super badass game with nice secrets and great musics.

My favorite is the ship theme! It has that mystic melancholic feeling to it as i said... I really love this game.

The history page is fun, watching them getting into a spat over how to describe the way she looks on the US cover. (Barbarian, Gladiator, Warrior, etc.), and if they should or shouldn't include her full name from the Japanese manual.
