Beyond Oasis is an action adventure similar to the Legend Of Zelda series, whilst taking a more action/combat heavy approach. The game has a series of elemental dungeons where the player can acquire one of four elemental spirits needed to progress through the game, and also use to his or her aid. These can be upgraded through finding hidden "spirit gems" in the world, often using the corresponding spirit to find it.
In Beyond Oasis, you play as the ever resourceful, Prince Ali. On one of his treasure hunts, Ali comes across an uncharted
island,
and decides to explore the Island's cave only
to discover the
Golden Armlet.
Curious,
Ali decides to put on the
Armlet.
As he does, a strange glow
fills the cave, a face
appears and begins to tell Ali that
"Many ages ago, a devastating battle was
waged in the shadowlands of the
Kingdom of Oasis..." and that Ali
must
find the four spirits that the Golden Armlet governs, to stop the the evil of the one who wears the Silver Armlet. As
the face disappears, the cave begins to shake and crumble, Ali swiftly makes his way back to the boat and escapes, and the island sinks below the ocean. Ali arrives at the shores, of Oasis.
Ali is in pretty good physical condition, and is able to preform various combat techniques, most of which involve flips and spins. He can also sprint for an unilmited amount of time.
The Map is used throughout your adventures to check on your current location and where you need to go next. The world is of course open but the player may only go to certain places through certain quests, revolving around one of the 4 spirits and beyond. While it may look small, Oasis is quite a big place, full of secret areas and challenges.
The ever helpful Dytto can be a lifesaver in tough situations, she can be summoned from any source of water, including spouts of water and water droplets. She is key to surviving the hidden underground gauntlet.
Abilities:
The mighty powerhouse that is Efreet can smash through enemies and destroy certain structures with powerful fire attacks. He can be summoned from any fire, and, if fast enough, explosions. He also punches through enemies automatically, protecting you from most threat. Efreet is used to win the special race using his fireball dash ability.
Abilities:
While not as attack focused, Shade offers a special passive effect, protecting you from attacks and saving you from falls unscathed. This of course comes at the price of the SP bar being reduced per hit and fall. Shade can be summoned from reflective surfaces, including Knight's armor.
Abilites:
The hungry plant Bow is usually required to eat through certain green "caged" doors, but can also be used to your benefit, Bow can be summoned from tiny plant saplings.
Abilities:
Throughout the game you will encounter enemies...enemies mean damage...damage means health pickups! These can be found in numerous areas and are also often awarded to you for defeating a room of enemies. Not all types of Food will heal, however, fruit will restore your spirit's health, so they can used for a longer period of time. Some items will do just both, these are probably the most valuable. Here is a list, effects included.
H.P = Hit points
S.P = Spirit Points
That's a lot of Food! there are also summon items, which can be used to summon a specific spirit, without having to use their traditional method of summoning. A pitcher of water will summon Dytto, a lantern will summon Efreet, a Mirror will summon Shade and a plant pot will summon Bow.
Beyond Oasis recently appeared in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Even though Beyond Oasis was called The Story of Thor in other parts of the world (including Europe) the European "Mega Drive Ultimate Collection" version still contains an emulated version of "Beyond Oasis", even when the menu still says "The Story of Thor". This is easliy understandable, as there is no reason to emulate a seperate version of a game that is identical. The same applies to all of the box art for the games, which are all North American.
