Illusion of Time (released as Illusion of Gaia in North America) is a classic 1995 action RPG for the SNES developed by Quintet. You control Will, a boy who must travel across the globe exploring ancient ruins to stop an approaching dark comet. Instead of a traditional leveling system, the game focuses on engaging real-time combat and intricate puzzle-solving.
How to Play
Explore dungeons and defeat monsters to progress. Use the D-pad to move, A to attack, B to use your equipped item, and L or R to guard or use psychic powers. As you advance, Will gains the ability to transform into the powerful knight Freedan or the liquid entity Shadow to overcome unique obstacles.
Tips
- Clear every room of enemies to earn Jewels that permanently increase your health, defense, and attack power.
- If you miss an enemy and leave a room, the monsters will respawn. Be thorough before moving on to secure your stat boosts.
- Keep an eye out for Red Jewels hidden throughout the world, which can be traded to the mysterious Jeweler Gem for valuable upgrades.
