Great use of the Genesis' limited color palette. I guess only certain developers like Treasure Games, and Ancient could develop games that look so colorful without a huge selection of colors to use. It's all about how you properly PROGRAM games.
Nintendo was known for quality control an color (cartoony) . Sega an Sony seem more for approving any company that could front the cash needed to make the cart.
This game was a masterpiece. Sega's competitor to The Legend of Zelda, a Link to the past. Although not a at all in the same league as the latter, this game showed the Genesis's potential. A great adventure game with GORGEOUS graphics for the time.
@@shairaptor1865 ZELDA'S ADVENTURE IS MORE INTERESTING, MORE HOURS OF GAMEPLAY, SOUND EFFECTS ON ZELDA IS ALSO SUPERIOR, BUT YOU CAN'T DENY THAT BEYOND OASIS HAS SUPERIOR GRAPHICS.... OVERALL ZELDA IS BETTER
Beyond Oasis is too short. Gameplay is closer to Zelda but Landstalker is the only Mega Drive game with the same epic scope (20+hrs on first play through).
@@EOTA564 Beyond Oasis is too long actually. Anything past a couple hours is egregious. Still need time in out lives to workout, work and spend time with friends and family. Still though because it's in such a league of it's own I will give it a pass on it being to long.
Man this is really impressive for a late 16-bit game, but I don’t remember it at all. SEGA was still pushing Vector Man at the time, and the various ports of Virtua Fighter. But holy cow this looks incredible.
I think the key is that everything is very well drawn (the sprites only need subtle animation as they're always suggesting a fluid movement). The geometry and perspective is always considered - it's very visually pleasing and clean. It's _graphic design_ and animation is more impressive, rather than technical "computer graphics" ie: something like Donkey Kong Country.
@@jackjude true. DKCb was a leap into the future back around 94. Sure you had the 3do.....wich probably noone owned, you had the arcades....wich wasn't even realistic for a home console to replicate on higher levels. But at home DKC had this 32bit look or that look of a fututre game. it was mindblowing to kids how good that game looked. Genesis always looked clean. maybe it's the fewer colours or something.
I had no idea that such an expansive game existed for the Sega Genesis back in the day. This looks absolutely gorgeous! ...and insanely complicated, if going for all secrets; nearly 4 hours of gameplay! Seems it wasn't a very well-known game. Very little fan-art exists of this- the most being "Dytto" the water spirit fairy. Really interesting mechanics! The game appears very generous with items! Funny enough, only ONE thing bothered me... the fact the HP/Magic bars never fill up completely, because of the little overlapping 'shine' detail. 😂
Excelente juego...recuerdo haberlo completado en su momento...graficos y jugabilidad impresionantes,una obra de arte. Edito: musicalmente...sin palabras.
Wow, graphics still look great for such an old game! Great use of colors for a Genesis game too! 🧐👍 A great competitor to Zelda on the Snes - a good run for it's money anyway - especially, the graphics!
Probably many people don't know, but there is a sequel called "The legend of Oasis/ Story of Thor 2" on the Sega Saturn, and it's absolutely brilliant! It's one of Saturn's hidden gems, and it's far superior than the first game in every possible way. Can't comprehend why it wasn't as popular! Seriously, check it out!
I remembered this game! One of my all time fav! This game was little known but deserved a lot more credits than it got. I really hope they can make a ps 4 or 5 version.
Gotta love how they use sound effects from the streets of rage games. That was always one of my favorite elements from this game. That and how the soundtrack sounds similar to shining force 2. One of my favorite games for sure. On par with, if not better than link to the past. Sega was the sleeper hit producer back in its heyday. Miss the golden years...
One of my top 3 Genesis games, the other two being "Wonder Boy in Monster World" and "Sonic the Hedgehog". I owned something around 40 games, but those are the three I always came back to. Also, I tell ya what - that secret pit may be a hassle, but the sword definitely makes things easier later on. Wish I knew about it on my first couple of playthroughs.
I remember playing this on the Sega Channel back in the 90's, great memories. got to the final dungeon and got stuck. try it again couple months ago on android phone, controls on the app emulator were horrible, unplayable.
I got to grow up with this game, and it's an absolute gem. I own Legend of Oasis on Saturn, and I found that one harder to enjoy for some reason. Maybe it's because fights last too long for my tastes?
This is the first time I've actually seen this game. By 1994 I think I was too busy with the SNES and in a rush to move into 3D games with the Playstation on the horizon. In hindsight Ridge Racer and co could have waited a bit longer and I should have picked this up. I think this would have sat quite well as a Wonder Boy titled game, but that's because Wonder Boy and Wonder Boy In Monster Land are my favourite Arcade platform games. Very Very Impressive. Edit - I don't believe it! I've just been looking to see if this game is available on current consoles and I already own it as part of the Sega Megadrive Classics collection on Nintendo Switch. I had no clue it was part of the collection! Farming Sim 22 can have a night off Lol..
Beyond Oasis is also available in : Sega Megadrive Classics ! 😇 (Switch, PS4, Xbox One) 😍 "La Légende de Thor" in French ! 😉 March 1995. The heroe : Ali. The Story of Thor 2 : Sega Saturn September 1996.
I had this for the Sega Genesis years ago but sold it off, I still have Legend of Oasis for the Sega Saturn; but I actually prefer the Genesis game for graphics and gameplay.
Better video quality - the original upload was limited to 720p, but I had the source footage so decided to upscale to 1440p while I still had the chance.
Speed and precision are obviously not the aims here so don't know why you thought that. It's sad that people think only a TAS can beat a game in an expert manner; skilled players can do stuff like this all the time and this is one of them!
@@notsyzagts7967 I am asking because I, myself, am doing full runs on the hardest difficulty on different (arcade style mostly) games in my channel, and I know the dedication you need. He is posting videos very often, maybe there are more people running?

highly under-rated. I remember first playing this when Sega Channel was a thing
same!! until sega channel would crash :| and id just stare at the wavy loading screen
One of my favourite Sega Genesis games of all time. I only got to the pirate ship but man it was so much fun to play.
As I recall, I rented this back in the day and got quite far, possibly even finished it. It's certainly one of the best looking games on the system :)
Same here, haha!
The quality of the graphics and the animation is insane. Just epic game: real time fight + RPG, with storylines and art style is what I like.
There is a sequel on Saturn called Legend of Oasis as well
From what I've seen, the sequel was quite the looker as well; definitely played to the Saturn's strengths.
@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays Another Megadrive RPG held in high regard is Soleil. I really need to give Beyond Oasis another go at some point
It's a great game but it's not an RPG
@@larrydotson2625 Any games that lasts longer than 90 minutes is an RPG in my world 😂

Beyond Oasis is far superior to Zelda a Link to the Past.
@@supersexysega Ehm, nope. Zelda Link to the Past is the best game of all time, period. But I also had Story of Thor/Beyond Oasis and like both games.

A RPG with some beat em up elements - nice combination!
That Is an ARPG.
I think I was 7 years old when this masterpiece released and my brother bought it right away maaaaaan such memories I still feel the same love
Man this is really impressive for a late 16-bit game, but I don’t remember it at all. SEGA was still pushing Vector Man at the time, and the various ports of Virtua Fighter.
But holy cow this looks incredible.
Ohhh snap! I remember visiting a friends house as a kid and they were playing this!
Super game, one of my all-time favorite games! Zelda 3, Secret of Mana and Landstalker are also great games.
One of the best reasons to get the Genesis mini, along with a bunch of other awesome titles.
I have never seen this. It looks like one of the most perfect genesis games.
@Keith Courage RX-78-2 Incorrect. Tomb Raider was not out until 1996. This was released late 1994.
It's good man, but easy to get lost.
this game throws the curveball. looks like a early 32bit game at times. What a gem this game.

One of the best games I've ever played
Water waves are generated when crossing the river...great special effects
they look better on composite filtering + CRT royale
damn how could i overlooked this game for so long lol gonna have to play it
Made lovingly by Yuzo Koshiro's Ancient and music by him too!
You can hear some of the sound effects from Streets of Rage in this game too. Protagonist looks like Axel as well
Excelente juego...recuerdo haberlo completado en su momento...graficos y jugabilidad impresionantes,una obra de arte.
Edito: musicalmente...sin palabras.
Was not aware of this game back in the day but got 'round to it on a GENESIS emulator...better late than never I guess 😄
It's incredible to me that a game like this existed in 1994. How am I just now discovering this???
Great game! :-]
Thanks for this longplay! ;-)
Damn If i have this cartridge on my childhood.. i discover this gem on roms emulated 15 years later
Wow, graphics still look great for such an old game! Great use of colors for a Genesis game too! 🧐👍
A great competitor to Zelda on the Snes - a good run for it's money anyway - especially, the graphics!
This and Light Crusader are one of the best games on the Sega.
Don't forget Landstalker, Crusader Of Centy and Phantasy Star 4.
I remember this game! Never finished playing it. But good I remember.
I had a sega genesis and this game totally eluded me, wish I knew of it back in the day
I can't believe this was for the Genesis! I never even heard of this game and I had Sega channel. Lol.

Story of Thor was fucking sick. Both soundtracks are just majestic.

@@MonroesArtStudio Pity! You can emulate it, that's the other option.
Amazing graphic even today. Held up very well.

1994...woah...what a passion they had.
my god this is my child hood and lot of games like zero the kamikaze squirrel and aero the acrobat 2 man i miss them
Wish I knew about this game 25 years ago 😞
Great gameplay!
Oh my goodness... so much memories.

I remember the first time I played it I was i thought, “so the genesis was capable of this all this time?” It felt like a leap above other games.

One of my favourite Sega Mega Drive / Genesis game
O gráfico deste jogo é incrível, aliás considerando as limitações do console, paleta de 512 e apenas 64 cores simultâneas, mais incrível ainda.
Não conhecia esse jogo, que bonito!
I remember playing this on the Sega Channel back in the 90's, great memories. got to the final dungeon and got stuck. try it again couple months ago on android phone, controls on the app emulator were horrible, unplayable.
This game was really when I used to have on SEGA I also had Chiki-Chiki Boys and Crusader Of Centy it was like a Zelda game, but a bit better.
buen video!
no conocia este videojuego
How did I miss playing this game? 😔
Incredible music 🎶
I actually preferred this over the snes's Zelda!
Amazing veideogame. The use of color its perfectly managed. Love it although never play it. Way ahead of its time.
the same sound effect that street of rage
Given that the game was developed by Yuzo Koshiro (Ancient) it does make sense.
Great graphics. Very colorful for MD.
So this is what axel did before Streets of Rage when he was a kid
I got to grow up with this game, and it's an absolute gem. I own Legend of Oasis on Saturn, and I found that one harder to enjoy for some reason. Maybe it's because fights last too long for my tastes?
This game is awesome 👌 👏 😎 🙌 👍
what a good remake would be! regards!
I love this game 😍
Axel stone in aladdin? 🤔
Que super joya la musica q flipas tio, tan solo 1.9 megas... what a super jewel, the alucinating music and it's only 1.9 Megas
JOGO de história fantástica. Mais AINDA os gráficos.
This game needs the Breath of the wild treatment. I used to love this game as a kid.
I'd play that
I was wondering why the music was so familiar, it's Yuzo Koshiro, same composer as Actraiser and many other games.
incredible graphics
masterpiece
this game was named as "Thor" in europe :)
More specifically "The Story of Thor"
@@MarcSola7 exactly :)
Fire Dragon looks like Smaug the Golden and Gildiss from King of The Dragons..
Cooool~

Music composer Yuzo Koshiro street of rage bives.
I feel a whole lot of blades of vengeance in the opener
It’s like Link mixed with Rygar. Enjoyable!
Masterpiece
How come dude didnt pick up heart upgrade at 55;10? Did i miss a thing that said no upgrade run or something?
Why are waterfalls so loud? 6:30 for example.
Even the jump sound from 3:14 sounds exactly like the jump from Streets of Rage 1 it sounds exactly the same
This and light crusader were the best games on the sega collection
Landstalker was also a great action RPG
Beyond Oasis is also available in :
Sega Megadrive Classics ! 😇
(Switch, PS4, Xbox One) 😍
"La Légende de Thor" in French ! 😉
March 1995.
The heroe :
Ali.
The Story of Thor 2 :
Sega Saturn
September 1996.
These graphics look really good for the Megadrive I think!!!!! They look 32-bit caliber, almost!!!!!
i just knew there is already has a genre of hack and slash from the old title game like Sega
Why is this version 1 second longer than the last version you uploaded?
Probably because the number of frames cropped from the end of the footage was different after upscaling/encoding
サターンの数ある名作の一つだと思ってる。
これはメガドライブ版ですよ…
wasn't there a sega saturn version of this game?
Legend of Oasis, also known as Story of Thor 2 outside of North America.
The only game I can compare to link to the past it's so beautiful
don't tell me you haven't heard of alundra
I had this for the Sega Genesis years ago but sold it off, I still have Legend of Oasis for the Sega Saturn; but I actually prefer the Genesis game for graphics and gameplay.
I should play it again.....
great rpg game for sega
3:42:25 lizardmen: you know what? Just kill me im not going to die tired.
OST reminds me of mickeys illusion castle on the genesis
What a badass
4:04 "Shut the fuck up."
That was one bitchslap lol
its like big version of Alundra on ps1
How come you had to reupload this?
Better video quality - the original upload was limited to 720p, but I had the source footage so decided to upscale to 1440p while I still had the chance.

1:25:18 dragon boss.
It’s a shame the Saturn version was a completely different game.
This is the kind of game that would've taken a developer at least three years to make
Nowadays yes, back in the nineties they cranked out a game like this in a week.
