2 months in the making, and yet another brand spanking new game review has arrived!  From the combined efforts of the 3 ill-fated companies: Sage's Creation (c/o Hot-B; the same folks responsible for Taito's Insector-X / Genki & OperaHouse's Devilish series / Sega's Crack Down), Cyclone System (Taito's Saint Sword & Cadash / Asmik Ace's WURM - Journey to the Center of the Earth) and Sigma Enterprises (Popeye 1&2 on Game Boy / Hissatsu Dojo Yaburi / Time Zone, etc.), comes a mystical sci-fi adventure revolving around 4 magic practitioners - the so-called SHADOW BLASTERS.

Horatio, Tiffany, Leo & Marco (the former 2 of whom are ninjas, aka Kotaro & Ayame in the original Japanese version 'Shiten Myo-Oh'; with the latter 2 being a fencer and a monk, aka Senshiro & Kidenbo individually) are summoned by the good god Hyperion to crush the ambitions of the evil god Ashura (NOT to be confused with Kujaku's bettter half from Peacock King) and his endless hordes of monsters, demons & dark warriors.
