Guardian Heroes (2011)

Early decisions send the adventurers towards different allies, opponents and stages, so the story can become a different trip through the kingdom. The layered fighting planes and RPG growth make that change feel substantial even when a later route rejoins familiar ground. Choose the Xbox remaster for a convenient version available on Xbox One and Series consoles. It is based on the Saturn game, rather than the separate Advance Guardian Heroes, and the remaster's combat options deserve a deliberate choice before comparing runs.
