Collector interest
Shin Souseiki Ragnacenty is the Climax action RPG known in the West as Crusader of Centy, here in its full Japanese form. This JP version offers a complete scenario and dialogue in Japanese, along with content nuances that the Western editions reworked. Its kinship with the Climax Mega Drive RPGs and its content divergence from the translated versions sustain a steady import interest.
An underrated gem
Often compared to Zelda, this action-RPG hides a touching idea: talking with animals to earn abilities and see the world differently. Its multiple regional titles muddied its identity and held back its renown. Colorful, clever and deeper than it looks, it will charm those who love heartfelt adventures on the Mega Drive.
Is Shin Souseiki Ragnacenty still worth playing in 2026?
An action RPG from Sega, Shin Souseiki Ragnacenty, known in the West as Crusader of Centy, follows a young hero who gains the ability to understand animals and forges alliances to restore the world's balance. The Zelda like gameplay blends snappy combat, puzzles and exploration, in a colourful art direction and surprisingly touching writing. The richness of the animal companion mechanics and the quality of the level design make it a gem of the genre. For a fan of retro action RPGs or someone curious about the Mega Drive's treasures, the title keeps a remarkable charm and finesse.
