Ragnagard is a 2D fighting game featuring a roster of characters based on world mythology. Originally released in 1996, it stood out for its use of pre-rendered sprites and a deep 'Aerial Battle System.' Players can charge their Element Gauges to unleash devastating 'Miracle Arts.' This ACA NEOGEO version brings the arcade experience to mobile with global rankings and customizable display settings.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Ragnagard is one of the more 'experimental' fighters from the NeoGeo era, notable for its use of pre-rendered 3D sprites (similar to Donkey Kong Country) rather than traditional hand-drawn pixel art. It gives the game a very distinct, slightly eerie look that sets it apart. The gameplay focuses on deities and mythical beasts, which makes for some flashy specials and aerial combat.
While the balancing is a bit lopsided, the ACA version makes it playable for a modern audience. The difficulty can be dialed down, and the screen settings allow you to recreate that old CRT scanline look. It's a curiosity for fighting game historians more than a rival to Street Fighter, but it's worth a look for the unique art style and the chance to play as a thunder god.
