Madou Monogatari (Sega Saturn) (InstanceTopic, 20)
From Compile Worlds
Madou Monogatari, romanized in-game as Madoh Monogatari and affectionately nick named Saturn by fans, is a Madou Monogatari game for the SEGA Saturn, tying in heavily with the then-newly released Puyo Puyo SUN and the yet-to-be released Puyo Wars. It's story revolves mainly around Arle Nadja fending off a mysterious enemy known as the Youggs with the help of Lagnus the Brave and Rulue.
Plot
The game begins by showing off Lagnus in his unnamed home world, venturing forth to a tower to combat the Youggs and their army of raging creatures. Lagnus defeats his foe, but is ultimately helpless to a surprise portal created by the Youggs. After sucking him in, the portal closes, and his world is presumably destroyed. Meanwhile, an enthusiastic Arle is excited to start going on her own magical adventures. While finding Panotty's flute in the woods one day, she finds a strange plant. The plant is emitting a mysterious smog that coats the entire area. Carbuncle destroys it with his laser, and all seems to be well again. However, when they pay a visit to Rulue, they are attacked by Minotauros, who is acting unusually violent and psychotic. After his senses are restored, Rulue runs off to see what caused her servant to go berserk. Arle and Mino give chase, finding her in a cave with another one of the plants. Rulue then turns on Arle as well, also being driven insane. After the plant is destroyed, the trio soon realizes that the plant's smog is responsible for the unusual behavior of the Madou Denizens. Thus, they set off to find and continue destroying the plants, aided by many others along the way.
