Sulver's Journey

Sulver's Journey is a fantasy adventure in which the warrior Sulver searches the planet Maroth for six Divine Stones and six Galactic Crystals, keeping them from Genesis, a space conqueror. Genesis has taken the Planetary Crystal, one of the six Galactic Crystals, shattered it into eight shards and scattered them across Maroth. He offers Sulver a chance to join his cause: use the crystals and stones to create a utopia ruled by Genesis. Instead, Sulver must collect all eight shards, open the Lost Dimension and stop Genesis from using a duplicate Planetary Crystal to transform Maroth into that realm.

Explore Maroth

Sulver begins in Central City, his home base and the location of Rutho's and Dot's shops and Doctor Birtton's Laboratory. Razor's Field provides access to Mount Oro, The Wizardly Woods, Poseidon's Bay and the Ancient Ruins. The Hawk watches over the field, while Hunter Razer patrols it; finding the aura boots helps Sulver dash through the area.

The Wizardly Woods are dark, mysterious and inhabited by the Elders, sorcerers and other spirits. Sulver must find Sapphire's Wand to stop the Dark Wizard Cloak. On Mount Oro, he faces the ice ninja Borge at the summit while avoiding strong winds and forced avalanches; the ice gauntlet helps him climb the mountain.

In Poseidon's Bay, Sharkoid has taken over Poseidon's Palace. Sulver can use the Divine Hammer against Sharkoid's army, but needs a special breathing item from Rutho's shop before diving into the bay. Pharaoh's Desert is ruled by Rahma Dao, an ancient pharaoh believed to be long dead. No one is allowed into the desert's deepest area, where Sulver must find the Eternal Blade and battle Rahma Dao.

Future City is filled with ledges, traps and surprise enemies, as well as a space shuttle and Doctor Iron. The Galactic Energy Beam helps Sulver get past some of its more dangerous enemies, but he must find it first. In Blazing Canyon, waves of fire, intense heat, fiery enemies and the ancient dragon warrior Blaze stand in his way. Sulver needs heat-resistant armor and damage-reducing armor before entering; the Raging Ax aids him in his fight against Blaze.

The Ancient Ruins are the homeland of the ancient warriors who possessed Sulver's power. Dark souls and energy from living beings hover there, empowering enemies and creating craters and constantly shifting platforms. The Ring of Destiny helps Sulver keep his balance and fight his evil counterpart.

Face Genesis

After clearing eight stages, Sulver can enter Genesis's Netherworld, the Lost Dimension. He fights through Genesis's Village, Genesis's Dungeon and Genesis's Fortress, taking on the Dark Hunter and Trivoid before confronting Genesis and trying to stop his plan to transform Maroth with the Planetary Crystal. The Lost Dimension is filled with dark, unstable energy.

Upgrades and bonus areas

Sulver can buy a range of enhancements from Rutho's Shop and collect eight special weapons, each with three upgrade levels. The game also includes bonus levels and mini-games, with bonus areas at Sorcerer's Summit, Savage Falls, Stone Village, Sapphire's Castle and the Future City Race area.
