Guardian Heroes.

Was not able to play this when new. I think this came out when side-scrolling beat em up RPGs were still somewhat fresh. The art and music are top-notch. One of the best OSTs on Saturn. The 2D plane gimmick of hopping between them makes it more interesting. The combo meter and commanding your ally in different ways. Branching story paths makes the game very replayable. This might still be avail on Xbox Live. If not Japanese versions of the game are still somewhat affordable and can easily be played not reading the text.  One of my fave games TBH. I was hoping to play a game like this after but the closest is Code of Princess. It's ok but not nearly as good. While it doesn;t have the hopping plane gimmick, Dragon's Crown fills the need well,of course DC is more of a successor to Tower of Doom in Arcades.
