Skyblazer

Skyblazer, sorti au Japon sous le nom de Karuraou (迦楼羅王, Karuraō, litt. "Roi Garuda"), est un jeu vidéo de plateforme publié par Sony Imagesoft, sorti au début de 1994 pour la Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Il met en scène Sky, le héros de Skyblazer (Garuda dans la version japonaise), à la recherche d'Ashura, le Seigneur de la Guerre, qui a kidnappé la sorcière Ariana (Vishnu dans la version japonaise).

Before the dawn of history, in an age when great sorcerers walked the lands and mystic creatures abounded, the world existed in a constant state of turmoil and war. The evil Ashura and his powerful warlords waged an eternal war to crush the Mystic Pantheon and stamp out the light of reason once and for all. Eventually a great sorcerer, Sky-Lord, arose and defeated Ashura, banishing him from the realm forever. Centuries passed, cities rose and fell and eventually even the great deeds of the Mystic Pantheon and the evil Ashura passed into legend. Until one day, a gifted apprentice sorcerer inadvertently freed Ashura from imprisonment. One by one Ashura began to capture and irrevocably transform the descendants of the Mystic Pantheon, making them his evil warlords. As the last free descendant, you are Sky, set upon a quest to free the young sorceress Arianna and face Ashura in mortal combat to end his tyrannical rule once and for all.
