Play Elemental Master (japan) Online

Elemental Master came out for the Sega Genesis in 1993, published by Sega. It was part of that wave of action games that tried to do something a little different with the top down perspective, a style that was common on the system at the time. You do not see many games where you control a magic user on a flying carpet, and this one stands out for that choice alone.

You control a sorcerer who flies through discrete, screen by screen stages. Your main goal is to defeat the evil that has corrupted the land, which involves navigating through enemy filled areas and fighting large bosses. The core mechanics are built around collecting elemental orbs to change your attack type; you cycle through fire, wind, and other elements, each with a different shot pattern and effect. The game is a shooter at heart, so you are constantly moving to dodge enemy fire while positioning yourself to attack. It moves at a brisk pace and the difficulty can be sharp, especially when the screen gets crowded with projectiles. Playing it feels like a constant, active dance between evasion and retaliation.
