Dark Savior (Video Game)	comment	A Role-Playing FableDark Savior is an Action RPG developed by Climax Entertainment and released for the Sega Saturn in 1996 (1997 in Europe). It was a Spiritual Successor to Climax' earlier game Landstalker. It does, however, not have anything to do with it.Rajeen Bounty Hunter Garian is on board a prison transport ship headed for Jailer's Island, transporting the incredibly dangerous creature Bilan, who of course escapes during the journey and Garian has to hunt him down. Depending on how long the player takes to complete the introduction part of the game, they move on to one of three "parallels", taking place in the same world and sharing plot elements, but also having significant differences - for instance, almost every part of the plot on Jailer's Island in the first parallel is directly caused by Bilan's escape, but to get to the second parallel you have to catch up with and kill Bilan already in the introduction, changing the story dramatically. Complicating matters is the Jailer's Island Warden Kurtliegen, who uses prisoners for slave labour to mine the dangerous substance Bilanium. The Lavian ninja Kay is a central character too, and is the one given the most different characterization in the three possible timelines.The game has an overarching theme of different realities and living different lives, something which comes full circle in the fourth parallel, following directly after the third.Of interesting note is the fighting system in the game - when any major enemy is encountered, the game shifts into more of a fighting game, complete with two rounds. A weakened enemy that has been knocked down in the second round can be captured and used in future battles.

Dark Savior (Video Game) / int_116a941b	comment	Applied Phlebotinum: Bilanium is an incredibly powerful substance that's being mined for at Jailer's Island, and the cause for many of the game's problems. It makes Bilan an even deadlier killing machine than he already is, and mutates Drizzit into a giant mindless beast that Kurtliegen aims to control.

Carbon Garian is the "Dark Savior", the renegade who leads the prisoners freed from carbon freeze to a full-scale revolt against the jailers and warden of Jailer's Island and eventually leads them back into the rest of the world if Garian and co. don't stop them in time.

Capturing an enemy adds it to Garian's "party" and they will then fight on his side (instead of him) in combat. You'll still get a game over if you lose as them, however. Story-wise, Drizzit will team up with Garian after he's fought in Parallel 2.

Depending on what you tell Tracy, she either kills you in a Hopeless Boss Fight while Lavian and Rajeen are laid to waste, or you're warped all the way back to the prison so you can rescue Kay. Hope you enjoy going through Deadman's Castle, the mansion, the mines and the minecart all over again!

It splits reality in half and gives birth to Garian's doppelganger. While the rose prevents our hero from killing the angry child, Carbon Garian kills him and is sentenced to carbon freezing. "Plan D". It's mentioned by J.J. as part of his big plan against Kurtliegen in Parallel 2, but loses his support to Bruno and doesn't carry it out. He carries it out in Parallel 3 and ressurects his boss, but inadvertently causes the events of Parallel 4 as he ends up releasing the other prisoners as well.

She eventually accepts his help when she realizes that Garian is right and her country has abandoned her.

In Parallel 1, she treats Garian with animosity until she realizes he's the only one who's willing to help her in her situation. In Parallel 2, she's still unwilling to cooperate with him but warms up to him much faster as they go through Deadman's Castle together, and grows fond of him once they escape. When she approaches Garian in Parallel 4, she's more than willing to offer her help after she dreamt that he saved her life, but this time Garian's the one weary of her.

Parallel 1 has Kay, who appears a few times as she is slowly dying before asking Garian to kill Bilan to avenge her. Drizzit plays this straight in Parallel 1 but plays with it in Parallel 2. He's part of an Escort Mission in Parallel 1 that gives some detail on him; he's more personable in Parallel 2, but quickly gets subjected to liquid Bilanium that turns him into a monster for the rest of the timeline. Parallel 3 has Kurtliegen, who is more sympathetic to Garian's cause on their first meeting but is killed by DeBose right before the start of Parallel 4.

Parallel 4 is appropriately all about this, which revolves around Garian fighting for his own existence. Not only does he have to go through all four castles again, but he's trying to save his four bounty hunter friends from being killed by four released prisoners.

Doesn't get overly useful until in parallel 4, since Garian doesn't get any weapon upgrades for himself in parallel 4, and the single one you're given in parallel 3 doesn't carry over. (Plus, Garian is weakened due to plot reasons.) In earlier parallels, with the equipment you get, Garian will almost always be the strongest, at least numberwise.

With the game taking place on a prison island, which has taken in a lot of strange specimens of criminals, it does a fairly good job of keeping everything consistent. Even across three different timelines. The only one that could be argued to be one is when you fight Bruno in parallel 5. A boss rush, consisting entirely of fights against characters you have encountered in earlier parallels. It is possible to get into a fight with Bruno in parallel 1, but by simply not doing what you're told to not do, it doesn't happen, and his sprite does not look at all suited for fighting. Thus, it's possible to beat the game several times without ever knowing it's even possible to fight Bruno, making his appearance in parallel 5 a bit of a surprise.

Dark Savior (Video Game) / int_9bff7822	comment	Conflict Killer: In a way, Bilan in Parallel 1. After playing both Parallels 1 and 2, it's clear that Kurtliegen was planning on doing exactly what he does in Parallel 2 in his scheme to take over the island, but Bilan's arrival on the island threw a wrench into everybody's plans. Musashi's scene in Golden Castle starts out identically, kidnapping Miranda to lure Garian to a final duel, but Bilan interrupts it in parallel 1. While Miranda is presumably still in the castle. J.J. in parallel 3. In Parallel 2 he mentions his big plan to overthrow Kurtliegen, "Plan D", but is unable to carry it out after Bruno is declared the leader of the resistance. In Parallel 3, after Bruno removes himself from the equation by being an idiot and Garian kills Bilan, J.J. goes ahead with Plan D, driving the main conflict and causing the events of the next parallel. Carbon Garian in Parallel 4. Not only is Garian's life force being threatened by the existence of his doppelganger, but their realities are also clashing with one another, and should one of them die, the reality they live in also dies.

If you play Parallel 1 first, and you most likely will, several things are referenced that suggest they have some kind of significance to the story but ultimately don't, whether it's a certain character, a battle, or an event that's about to unfold. This encourages playing the other parallels as what looks like an Aborted Arc in one parallel becomes important in another one, especially if they're played in order.

You can't run out of time, but if you want to see more than one parallel, you have to hurry: Finishing under three minutes and thirty seconds takes the player to parallel 3, finishing between 3:30 and 4:30 kicks off parallel 2, and taking any longer than four minutes and thirty seconds starts parallel 1. Parallel 4, following directly after parallel 3. Garian has one hour to find and destroy Carbon Garian, else the current universe collapses. More time is gained through unskippable plot, though. And after beating him, you're given 95 seconds to get off of Jailer's Island. Parallel 4 has another timed mission. Within the hour given, Garian must find all his friends before they're killed by Carbon Garian. At certain points during the countdown, one of Garian's Bounty Hunter team will be killed. Letting some or all die nets you a different ending. Oh, and the timer until the next one dies is invisible. Good luck figuring out how long your next mate has left to live if you don't intervene. Overlaps with Travelling at the Speed of Plot towards the later stages of Parallel 4. No matter how long or how short you take in saving your Bounty Hunter companions or how much time you have on the clock, Carbon Garian will always have just entered the port by the time you make it, and Garian is right behind him at the prison gates.

Dark Savior (Video Game) / int_dcbe8a6e	type	Chekhov's Gunman
Dark Savior (Video Game) / int_dcbe8a6e	comment	Chekhov's Gunman: Some characters appear to have wasted potential in some of the parallels only to have significant importance in others. If you save Drizzit in Parallel 1, the oddly-designed J.J. is introduced as a corpsenote If you don't, you'll meet him in the underground city but he'll suffer the same fate regardless. In Parallel 2, he's sulking in one room now that Bruno is the leader of the resistence and is completely powerless to carry out his plans. Way to waste a unique-looking character, right? Oh no. It turns out that he's the entire reason there's a plot in Parallel 3 and 4 now that the barriers he faced in the other parallels are removed. If you play Parallel 1 before Parallel 2, Kay is this big time. She doesn't appear in person very much in Parallel 1 and sadly becomes a victim of the parallel's Downer Ending, but with the cause out of the way in Parallel 2, she's central to the plot and the reason she's on the cover of the game. If you play Parallel 2 before Parallel 3, all the criminals you see in the execution chamber. They play no importance in Parallel 2, but are freed in Parallel 3 and serve as central antagonists in Parallel 4. Indigo refuses to fight you in Parallels 1 and 2, and tells you that in perhaps another world, you are destined to fight. He fights you in Parallel 4 out of loyalty to your doppelganger.

Although his portrait makes him look more like a robot, his battle sprites make the influence very clear, and is described as a killing machine. Lance looks an awful lot like Steven Seagal in his portrait, and uses martial arts as his moveset. In fact, his Japanese name actually is Seagal.

The city is filled with bars, clubs, prisoners and people forced into cheerleader uniforms by J.J. who might actually be men. Bruno later uses it as his base of operations.

Fall in a bottomless pit even near the end and you're sent back straight to the beginning of it to do it all over again. The entirety of parallel 4 needs to be done in one sitting within a time limit and without save points. Kaiser still appears but won't provide reports to the agency due to the situation at hand.

After gaining the power of the Copper and Golden rings, his hit points are displayed as question marks and your attacks do no damage. Kay even mentions that you don't have what it takes to beat him. Fortunately, you need to lose this battle to proceed. Tracy in parallel 2 if you leave Kay to die and then lie about it. Like Kurtliegen, her hit points are displayed as question marks and your attacks won't damage her at all. Unlike before, once this battle is initiated, you might as well call it a game over.

Depending on what you tell Tracy, she either kills you in a Hopeless Boss Fight while Lavian and Rajeen are laid to waste, or you're warped all the way back to the prison so you can rescue Kay. Hope you enjoy going through Deadman's Castle, the mansion, the mines and the minecart all over again! Possibly subverted in Parallel 1. If you leave Drizzit behind in Deadman's Castle, you'll earn Bruno's wrath and have to fight him. But he can also be captured, and this is the only time in the entire game where you can.

Kills Kurtliegen in one hit in the cutscene, but when captured and used in battle, does absolutely pitiful damage. Bilan, too - those killed by him are usually described as having been killed in one hit, and Garian even describes him as capable of killing even a seasoned fighter in one strike, but when fighting him he's usually not even the hardest fight in the parallel.
