The Story Behind Tecmo Secret of the Stars
Initially, all the teens are considered Pennon, the lowest rank of warrior. The Kustera are mostly meant to serve as a supplement to the Aqutallions, but their role in the story is vital to its progression. Dan is an exception because he is the descendant of the Prosperous Wise Man clan of Aqutallion.
Villains encountered along the way tend to range from comical, such as Cat Boo and Badbad, to the more sinister elite generals of Homncruse. Secret of the Stars, known as in Japan, is a 1993 role-playing video game developed and published by Tecmo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The Aqutallions are not alone: eleven members of Kustera can be recruited to fight for the young warriors in their place for a time being.
How Tecmo Secret of the Stars Plays
From the same temples where the Aqutallions gain their Banalet status, there is a Kustera-only warp icon that sends the group to a dungeon where great treasures are hidden. Secret of the Stars uses a turn-based RPG battle system where actions in battle are selected through a menu and actions are presented at the end of the turn. The Aqutallions are not alone: eleven members of Kustera can be recruited to fight for the young warriors in their place for a time being.
Dan is an exception because he is the descendant of the Prosperous Wise Man clan of Aqutallion. The main character, Ray, and his party of Aqutallion warriors embark on a quest to find and destroy Homncruse, the evil power threatening their world. The Kustera are mostly meant to serve as a supplement to the Aqutallions, but their role in the story is vital to its progression.
Why Players Still Load It Up
Initially, all the teens are considered Pennon, the lowest rank of warrior. Ray begins his journey alone on a tiny island, but eventually he meets his friends and fellow Aqutallion warriors: Tina, Cody, Leona and Dan, and even creates a town for the victims of Homncruse's evil to live. Before they can destroy Homncruse, each of them must undergo a trial at their respective temples hidden around the world to receive the secondary powers of Banalet.
The main character, Ray, and his party of Aqutallion warriors embark on a quest to find and destroy Homncruse, the evil power threatening their world. GamePro praised the game's monster designs, calling it "X-Files with a sense of humor." However, they considered the game's winning feature to be its combination of accessible gameplay mechanics with heavy challenge, summarizing that "kiddie characters and an easy-to-use RPG design will appeal to young beginners, but the epic-length adventure and multitude of monsters will challenge wily RPG vets." The Aqutallions are not alone: eleven members of Kustera can be recruited to fight for the young warriors in their place for a time being.
