ActRaiser/Gameplay

Act Gameplay
When in an Act, The Master comes down to earth and inhabits the statue of a warrior, animating the stone and bringing to life a mighty crusader. Some people refer to this warrior as the avatar.

Simulation Gameplay
After beating a region of the world's first Act, you'll get to help the citizens of the area to grow. Since The Master has no worldly form, the Angel gladly takes its place to serve as a tool.

Fighting
As the Angel, you fight aerial beasts by shooting them with arrows. When a beast is destroyed, their spirit is sent to the temple at the center of town and you gain SP.

Civilization Development
As you solve problems for the people, clear out objects barring the way and direct them in building, the people will slowly grow in population.
