Soleil

Developer: Nextech

Crusader of Centy (released as Soleil in some regions) is a vibrant top-down action-adventure for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. You play a young hero exploring islands, solving light puzzles, and gaining animal spirit companions that grant unique abilities and weapons. Combat blends fast-paced swordplay with item-based strategy, while boss encounters demand pattern learning and careful resource use. Its bright spritework, short dungeons, and tight controls capture classic 16-bit charm, offering satisfying challenge and nostalgia for Zelda fans. Expect memorable bosses, clever power-ups, and a rewarding single-player progression that encourages exploration and experimentation.
