A magically super-charged Beat 'em Up for the Sega Saturn by Treasure. A group of adventurers find a powerful magic sword, but unfortunately, The Empire has been looking for that very weapon. A red-armored girl bursts into their room just as Imperial soldiers start streaming in. They fight their way out of the town to a nearby graveyard, only to be confronted by a robot. In the middle of a difficult fight, suddenly a massive armored skeleton, the sword's original owner, arises from his grave to claim it.Guardian Heroes is, in a word, frantic. Lots of different characters, both allies and enemies, with nearly all of them available in the game's Versus Mode, with full six-player support. The gameplay is mostly two-dimensional, with the action spread across three planes, giving plenty of space for some massively large magic attacks (Treasure had experimented with this with Yu Yu Hakusho: Makyou Toitsusen for the Sega Mega Drive). Of the heroes, each has a wide variety of attacks, plus magic spells which as their levels increase, gets bigger and more destructive. Through the game, you're followed by the aforementioned Undead Hero, who can be given different commands such as protecting you, staying his sword, attacking of his own initiative, or just going berserk and burning everything before obliterating whatever's left with a Sphere of Destruction. Depending on your choices during the course of the game, you could liberate the kingdom, storm the gates of Hell, storm the gates of Heaven, or face down a robotic army led by Golden Silver, the final boss of Gunstar Heroes.A sequel, Advance Guardian Heroes was released, as the name suggests, on the Game Boy Advance, which ties the game even closer with Gunstar Heroes. In this game, the villains from the previous game have returned centuries later, ready to try again to take over the world. A young soldier allows himself to be possessed by the spirit that inhabited the Undead Hero to fight them again.After roughly 15 years, Treasure announced in May 2011 that they would be re-releasing the original Guardian Heroes on Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, as Guardian Heroes HD. As the name implies, the game was updated with HD graphics, new artwork, new A.I., re-designed gameplay mechanics, a re-translated script, new voice-acting, online co-op, and a new 12-player online mode, although the option to play it like the original Saturn version is also available. It arrived on October 12, 2011, and at the low price of $4.99.For games with similar gameplay to Guardian Heroes, Panzer Bandit, Code of Princess (a Spiritual Successor for the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, and Steam), and Phantom Breaker's retro-styled brawler spin-off, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
Guardian Heroes (Video Game) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: If you die in the sequel, a mysterious figure appears and offers you immortality in exchange for your soul. Agree, and you turn invincible for a period of time depending on the difficulty mode. Once the time runs out (which doesn't happen in Super Easy), you're killed. Using it at any point will automatically net you the bad ending, though, and even if you manage to beat a stage, you won't be able to level up. | |

Palette Swap: Most of the enemies in Story Mode. Specifically, Valgar adopts a white armor when he joins the Sky Spirits in one of the possible routes. In Versus Mode, everyone gets at least six (or twelve, in HD version) possible color schemes. When Mid (the giant monster plant in Stage 03) is defeated, his true form is revealed to be a palette swap of Randy's pet Nando. | |

Karma Meter: The game features one that decides whether or not you'll get the "light" or "dark" version of certain endings. Beating up bad guys, allowing fleeing enemies to escape, and not harming the civilians can increase your karma, while attacking bystanders, fleeing enemies, continuously attacking a defeated enemy, and destroying inanimate objects (e.g. a barrel of produce, crates, a chandelier) will lower it. | |

Nintendo Hard: Advance Guardian Heroes. You get only one life, unless you make a Deal with the Devil, and even in that case, you can only use it to preview some more of the stage for your next attempt before you die regardless, and using it even once leads to a Bad Ending. Thankfully, the game allows you to start over from your last checkpoint... with however much health you had when you reached said checkpoint. The game has four difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Super Hard. Super Hard truly lives up to its name. The enemies not only become more powerful, but will be allowed to make use of previously player-exclusive mechanics such as counters and the Anger Mode to interrupt your combos. | |

Gameplay Ally Immortality: The Undead Hero in the first game's Story Mode can get hit by enemies, but he can't die since he's already dead. According the developers, the reason behind this gameplay design decision was to balance the difficulty as players could end up fighting against a huge number of enemies that would be impossible to deal with alone. Randy's familiar Nando is also immortal when players play as him in Story Mode. | |

Crutch Character | |
Guardian Heroes (Video Game) / int_7deb3fb1 | comment |
Crutch Character: The original Guardian Heroes characters in the sequel, in an unusual example of this trope. Defeating one of them in battle allows you to borrow their power, which gives you massive stat boosts. If you still aren't leveling up your stats normally, though, it'll come back to bite you in the ass later, as you frequently lose those powers throughout the game (usually when you fight another one of the original party, as the party members you've already beaten come back out and fight against you again). And at the end of the game, the final boss permanently removes these powers one by one. Han using the Undead Hero’s sword in the beginning. It massively raises his stats, but he loses the boost quickly when the Hero takes it back. One route has you fighting another Undead Warrior with a similar sword, and if Han is present in that fight, the Warrior will bequeath that sword to him for a similar boost. | |

The initials of the other main heroes in Advance Guardian Heroes (including those from the previous game) form the game's title: Admilla, Dylan, Valgar, Nicole, Cerena, Edo, Ginjiro and Han (Advance GH). Granted, Cerena was originally named "Serena" and Edo is actually Randy's pet possessing Randy's body, so they cheated a bit to make this work. | |

Luck Stat: Not only is Luck used instead of defense (the higher your luck, the less damage enemies will do), Nicole's randomized magic types are dependent on Luck; the higher the Luck, the bigger they will be. Not always a good thing. Not only does it help reduce the damage taken, it can also give you random bursts of extra damage. It also increases the amount of EXP you earn. | |

Non-Standard Game Over: When you run out of HP in Advance Guardian Heroes, the Big Bad will offer you an "invincible body": all you need to do is sell your soul. Refuse, and the game ends right away. Accept, and you will enter "Devil Mode", with your body enhanced so that you are effectively immortal. After a few minutes, however, the Big Bad will collect on his part of the bargain and kill you right away, ending the game and forcing you to start over back at the point where you ran out of HP originally. You also cannot beat the game in Devil Mode: reaching the end in this state will result in an immediate Game Over.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: Most of the script for Advance Guardian Heroes is like this, and in some spots (like the intro) it becomes a full-on Translation Train Wreck. | |

Joke Character: Both Guardian Heroes and Advance Guardian Heroes lets you play as inneffectual characters such as villagers, wolves, and the tiny goblins. They have appropriately pathetic attacks and stats. | |

Big Bad | |
Guardian Heroes (Video Game) / int_970c790a | comment |
When you run out of HP in Advance Guardian Heroes, the Big Bad will offer you an "invincible body": all you need to do is sell your soul. Refuse, and the game ends right away. Accept, and you will enter "Devil Mode", with your body enhanced so that you are effectively immortal. After a few minutes, however, the Big Bad will collect on his part of the bargain and kill you right away, ending the game and forcing you to start over back at the point where you ran out of HP originally. You also cannot beat the game in Devil Mode: reaching the end in this state will result in an immediate Game Over. | |

Head Swap | |
Guardian Heroes (Video Game) / int_991c8078 | comment |
Head Swap: Some of the enemies are head-swaps of other characters (including the heroes), but they do provide a good explanation for some of them. Han is the former leader of the blue knights and the new leader, Gash Deadeye, used to be his second-in-command. Katrina, the new leader of the red knights, was Serena's old rival when Serena was the leader. Macho and Sambo, the leaders of the Godats thieves, are head-swaps of each other (except that Macho fights shirtless as well). Manon F. Brown (Randy's mentor) trained under the same mentor as Kanon G. Grey. The Undead Rogue is a head-swap of the Undead Hero except hhas an arm missing. | |

Guardian Heroes (Video Game) / int_9d09bf1a | comment |
American Kirby Is Hardcore: The American cover replaces the original anime-esque artwork with a fantasy novel-esque illustration depicting Han fighting the Undead Hero (even though he's a good guy). The European cover kept the original art, but turned the cover into a complete sausagefest by having the heroines Serena and Nicole replaced with Zur the magician and Macho the beefcake (who aren't even main characters). | |

Harder Than Hard | |
Guardian Heroes (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
The game has four difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Super Hard. Super Hard truly lives up to its name. The enemies not only become more powerful, but will be allowed to make use of previously player-exclusive mechanics such as counters and the Anger Mode to interrupt your combos. | |

Counter-Attack | |
Guardian Heroes (Video Game) / int_cb42ed9f | comment |
Counter-Attack: In the original version of Guardian Heroes, if a player is being attacked from behind, pressing the Strong Attack will cause the player to counter from both sides. In the Remix Mode of the HD version, if players have at least 60 MP, they can blow away their attackers and other near-by enemies by pressing the Strong Attack while holding the Guard button. In Advance Guardian Heroes, blocking at the right time to stun and counter enemies is an important combat mechanic. Its climax even revolves around it, with the hero reflecting a giant fireball the instant *Under 00:00:11 before it hits Earth. | |

Updated Re-release: The HD version features (obviously) optional HD graphics, redrawn character artwork, new A.I., a re-translated script, new voice-overs, new sound effects, and online multi-player with an expanded 12-player Versus Mode. There's also the "Remix" mode of the game that changes quite a lot of how the game is played (you now have three attack buttons instead of two, normal attacks can be canceled with stronger attacks, MP is capped to 100, air-dashing is possible, etc.), although the ability to play the game with the original mechanics are still available in Original mode. | |

These options are but limited to: using the original or redesigned gameplay mechanics, minimum and maximum level cap, adjusting the damage scale from x0.5 to x10, altering a character's moveset, allowing or restricting characters from play, whether or not elemental properties should apply in matches, and much more. | |

Hoistby His Own Petard: Heaven, and by extension, Demon in Advance Guardian Heroes.

Theme Naming | |
Guardian Heroes (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The three main heroes in the GBA version are named after the elemental powers they use: Enn comes from En or fire, Hyu comes from Hy� or ice, and Ray comes from Rai or lightning. The initials of the other main heroes in Advance Guardian Heroes (including those from the previous game) form the game's title: Admilla, Dylan, Valgar, Nicole, Cerena, Edo, Ginjiro and Han (Advance GH). Granted, Cerena was originally named "Serena" and Edo is actually Randy's pet possessing Randy's body, so they cheated a bit to make this work. | |
