Riglas

About

In Riglas, you play as Mei, an Osborn man fighting to liberate his persecuted people in a land torn by conflict between the Mirians and Galtians. The game blends open-world exploration with straightforward combat, navigate a side-scrolling world filled with cities, wilds, and dungeons, and target enemies by running up and mashing the attack button. Every kill boosts your score and power, but harming allies risks penalties. The map is fully accessible from the start, letting you tackle objectives in any order while uncovering secrets tied to the forbidden lore of Beljuna. The game’s seamless design stands out, with smoothly connected environments that avoid loading screens. Players can choose to spare or eliminate foes, creating subtle moral weight in a genre often fixated on violence. Despite its 1986 release, the interconnected world and reactive scoring system feel ahead of its time. It’s a lean, focused RPG that prioritizes exploration and player agency over complex systems.
