The story of the game draws heavily from the first story arc of the series, from the beginning of the story to the fight with the Gold Saints.
The game remains faithful to the original story while introducing some original elements.
When the game came out, the story line was in the middle of the Gold Saints story arc.
As a result, the last boss of the game is an original character.
The actual final fight of the Gold Saints arc was carried over into this game's sequel, Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu Kanketsu Hen.
The gameplay mixes side scrolling action scenes to transport the character from place to place where he may have to jump over obstacles and fight basic enemies, with a turn based combat system against bosses and other significant battles.
In order to be successful at these turn based battles, the player must distribute his power, or Cosmos, to various attributes before each attack.
Failure to do so typically results in no damage dealt to the opponent, and a lot of damage received.
When Life is lost, the main character can be revived, but if all Cosmos is lost, then the game is over.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1987.
