Before there was a superfast hedgehog, Sega introduced us to another rising star. Now that stellar character is back as part of the Sega Forever collection.
Watch the trailer
A classic Sega title. The predecessor to a famous hedgehog is now available on your iOS device.
Take on the baddest of the baddies. No side-scroller would be complete without boss battles, and Ristar's got 'em. Take on the baddest of the baddies, eventually fighting Greedy himself.
What is it about?
In Ristar, you'll explore six planet levels as a shining, shooting star. Of course, it isn't quite that simple. Your character has stretchable arms, to grab onto surroundings and enemies in order to topple Greedy, an evil tyrant who has taken captive the galaxy of Valdi.
For those who...
- love classic Sega games
- want a challenging side-scroller with retro graphics
Not for those who...
- don't care about Sega classics
- prefer detailed, smooth graphics
Why we love it
Ristar provides you with leaderboards, cloud saves, controller support, and more. The official emulation of the side-scrolling classic is terrific, but what I really loved about Ristar then and now is the unique amount of replay value and choices you can make. Sure, it's a linear side-scroller, but you can choose different paths through many of the obstacles. If you aren't a fan of jumping from small platform to small platform, many of those obstacles also offer handholds above. Ristar can leap from stone to stone, or he can swing across the chasm using vines and branches. You can even switch back and forth, trying different tactics and routes. It's a simple game, but one with plenty of options.
