Finding new ways to inject action and excitement into a tired old RPG formula can be a major challenge, but what better way to spice things up than by violently shooting the hero out from a giant freaking cannon at his monstrous adversaries with his mighty sword drawn? It turns out that making your armored warrior fly through the air as far as humanly possible while carving up as many monsters ashe can along the way quickly is one of the most addictive ways to level grind imaginable.
Conquering each of the game’s six stages requires you fly a certain minimum distance, though there’s a lot of fun to simply re-playing stages to power up your hero. Monsters get tougher as you go, and you’ll need extra strength to make it through the harder stages. Leveling-up lets you boost stats that help you soar longer distances, do more damage in battle, and survive longer. Also, gold you pick up can be spent on special weapons (there’s a rock-paper-scissors style elemental flow to weapons and monster types) or items to help you in your skyward quest. Blast RPG is a silly little game that’s nonetheless tough to put down once you dig into it.
