How do you enter a town in Actraiser 2??...

I've tried and tried, and tried to enter a town, while emulating this game, but I just can't do it! How do you do this, or is there just a bug with the emulator? I've even read FAQ's on the game, but I still can't seem to enter a town, and so find how this game really plays.

If you're looking for a town like there was in Actraiser (the first one), you can look forever - as there isn't any in this game! This game is just an action platformer, there are no other types of gameplay in it.

I enjoy it because of the music, but preferred the first game, as I really dug the simulation parts.

I know all that, but how do I enter an area where I can experience the action-plaforming of this game??

I think it's 'A'.

When you are over a level, you will see the name of the level displayed.

I keep pressing A, but all I get are level descriptions.

No harm done, but I still need some help here.

Once you select town/area a menu should appear, select fight on the screen and it'll take you to the action.

Thanks man, I finally got to the fighting part, and man, is this ever my kind of action RPG!!

Major kudos to Enix for developing this one!

No RPG elements in this one. It's pure platform. Enjoyable game, though I liked the first one better.

I'm the opposite, I never enjoy town-building/strategy games; that's what kept me away from the Dark Cloud series when I had my PS2-I just want to hack it up!

Be prepared to finagle with the hit detection for awhile, heh. Though oddly enough, despite the game's reputation, I actually have finished it on "Normal," which, of course, means that anyone can, heh.

No problem

Bullet Magnet- Yeah thte hit detection is abit hit or miss, I myself couldn't really get into it or the rather useless wing gliding.

I might have to fire this up again in an emulator.

Sorry about that, I just assumed that you thought this was like the first game.

I wasn't fond of the town building either. I just liked the first game's platforming and bosses better - though both are great games (and have excellent music).
