Rastan Saga II,[a] known in Europe as Nastar and in North America as Nastar Warrior (except for the North American Sega Genesis version, which was released as Rastan Saga II), is a hack and slash platform arcade video game developed and released by Taito in 1988. It is the sequel to Rastan (released as Rastan Saga in Japan). The story in this game tells how Rastan got his titular name (meaning his real name is unknown) and saved a vast region called 'Rastania' from evil monsters known as "The Wicked Group". Rastania which Rastan saves in this game subsequently becomes a kingdom for Rastan to rule.
Gameplay
Rastan Saga II is a side scrolling hack-and-slash-em-up where the player takes the role of a barbarian who tries to defeat an evil wizard. The controls of Rastan consist of an eight-way joystick, a button for attacking, and a button for jumping. Like the first installment, the player is able to swing Rastan's sword in multiple directions. By using the joystick in combination with either button, the player can determine the height of Rastan's jumps.
There are a total six rounds, each consisting of two areas: an outdoor scene, and a castle hall where the player must confront the stage's boss. The backgrounds of the outdoor areas feature broad landscapes with changing sunlight effects with detail. The game's bosses include Medusa, a Gladiator Centaur, and the final boss, the evil wizard.

Taito: We gonna make a game about Conan the Barbarian!
Taito employee: Great! We'll get programming it right away.
Taito: Bad news, we couldn't secure the rights to the Conan the Barbarian movie.
Taito employee: But the game is halfway done!
Taito: Don't worry, complete the game but just rename the main character "Nastar" or "Rastan" or whatever and we claim is a completely original character.
Taito employee: You're the boss.

Bad decision not leaving Fabio and the awesome music like Conan the Barbarian

This sequel is awful. Wow. I'm glad that I never ran across this sequel in the arcade. I gave a thumbs up for the effort put into the video though. I still enjoyed seeing some arcade history.

Agreed, the first one was awesome.

[@andyseabrookfitness8693]

this was a big stepdown from the first game. the music is terrible to hear. the animation (especially rastans. Who walks like hes eaten a whole box of bran and needs the toilet!!) is apalling!!.
at least they redeemed themselves with the third game
