Actraiser
Despite a good balance of action and strategy, Actraiser is unfortunately too easy and too short. The difficulty level is quite low, especially if you use a lot of magic, and some Acts are much shorter than the rest. I finished the game in about 8-9 hours, and that's including replaying some portions to see the alternate paths. But still, the fact that it interested me enough to play for many hours straight should speak volumes about the fun factor of this game. If you enjoy innovative and "light" action or "God sim" games or both, Actraiser is well worth your time. It may not be challenging, but it's a lot of fun while it lasts. Too bad Quintet decided to focus much more on the action part and virtually abandoned the superior sim segment for the disappointing sequel, Actraiser 2.
