Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu ("Gold Legend") is a platformer-slash-RPG game developed by TOSE and published by Bandai, released in 1987 for the NES, and the very first game based on the Saint Seiya manga/anime. It implements a rather primitive (and sloppy) RPG system with platforming sections, where the player (using Pegasus Seiya) moves around the city, talking to NPC or throwing punches at mooks and gaining experience which can be distributed across several stats which determines strength, defense and Cosmo. When fighting bosses, the game switches to turn-based combat: here the player assigns an amount of strength to each stat and selects an attack and defense option, then watches as the attack animations play out.The game follows the first story arc of the anime, albeit very haphazardly: throwing several characters away and including clones of the same enemy saints to pad its length out. It also ran out of material to adapt half-way through the Twelve Temples arc, leaving most of the latter Gold Saints out and heavily changing the ending.The game received a sequel in 1988 for the same system, Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu Kanketsu Hen ("Gold Legend Finish Arc"), which went for a more simplified/streamlined gameplay: platforming sections are now much more straightforward and simple "left-to-right" ordeals, while turn-based elements were reduced to a single "Sevensenses" bar the player fills up by punching mooks, and later distributes among a Saint's "Life" and "Cosmo" before each boss fight. The boss fights are simply "pick up an attack" and "hope you can evade damage", with the many character stats and leveling up from the first game removed entirely. The game focus exclusively on the "Twelve Temples" part of the first arc, now adapted in its entirety and much more faithfully since that arc of the manga was finished, even encouraging the player to reproduce the battles as seen in the manga/anime.Finally, a Remake combining both games was released in 2003 for the WonderSwan Color, titled Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu Hen Perfect Edition, taking and updating the combat system of the first game with a very welcome set of new graphics and cutscenes. |

comment |
Brainwashed and Crazy: Leo Aeolia is held under the power of the Pope's Imperial Phantasm Punch, which turns him into a sadistic monster, and can only be released by seeing someone die in front of him. In-game, this was translated as him being impossible to damage until Seiya was defeated, at which point Cassios comes up and promptly dies, making Aeolia defeatable. |

Unintentionally Unwinnable |
| Saint Seiya Ougon Densetsu (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b |
comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: When you face the final boss with Ikki, you must speak to him, otherwise he'll be immune to any attack, and when Seiya comes back to fight him he'll be unable to damage him at all. Rather jarring considering it's the last boss, and there's no indication in-game of what to do to win. You can go outside the canon and beat Pisces Aphrodite with Seiya... which leads to Seiya dying and Shun being the only choice left to cross the Path of Roses (which constantly drains his life). However, the exit at the end of this area (Seiya's mentor) only appears for Seiya, leaving Shun unable to continue until his life drops to 0. Oops. |

Shiryu - Green/Black, his attack is faster than the others. Hyoga - White/Blue, his attack is stronger than the others. Shun - Pink/Green, his chain can hit enemies on the way back. Ikki - Blue, his attack has full-screen range. |

Skippable Boss: You can avoid fighting the Gemini Saint if you choose Hyoga, which will instead match him with his master Camus in the Libra Temple, per the anime/manga story. |

Promoted to Playable: While Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun and Ikki were sorta-playable in the previous game (they could be switched in during boss fights), in this one they can be individually selected for use at each Gold Temple. They also have unique skills for the platforming sections. |

comment |
Bottomless Pits: Present in all stage sections. The Gemini Temple's extra stage is the worst offender, as two thirds of it is basically one giant pit with small platforms scattered above. It's somewhat mitigated in that, instead of instant death, falling off them results in the playable character at the time taking some damage and being sent back to the start of the stage to do over. |

11th-Hour Superpower: Do the final boss fight correctly, and Seiya gets an enormous boost of Seven Senses from his friends, and the ability to refill his Life/Cosmo every turn, making him almost invincible. All Bronze Saints also gain one or two new, ultra-powerful attacks in their final Temple battle before being removed from play, usually after losing the first round. |

comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Cancer Deathmask, the 3rd boss, has an insane amount of advantages, most notably having more Cosmo than Life and aiming at the player's Cosmos with his only attack, which means he does lots of damage for far longer than the others, and you do progressively less as his attack connects. This type of arrangement doesn't even appear with end-game enemies, making him the most frustrating boss in the game. |

Hopeless Boss Fight: Hyoga vs. Camus in the Libra Temple, only accessed if the player uses Hyoga in the Gemini Temple. Fighting Aeolia with anyone other than Seiya, or Camus with anyone other than Hyoga makes those bosses this as well, as both require that their respective saints talk to them for them to become vulnerable to attacks. |
