Realm is a platform video game with shooting elements that was released exclusively for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996.

## Story

Firing red energy shots at a bunch of enemies that resemble fireballs.

Realms takes place in the year 5069, with the player in control of a young Biomech cyborg.[1] An alien invasion has devastated the entire planet of Earth, killing almost every human being and devastating its cities. Earth's last hope is a cyborg that travels through five levels (realms) to defeat the enemies with laser weapons and other Space Age guns and save what is left of humanity.

## Reception

This game was released near the end of the Super NES' lifetime. It was reviewed in the September 1996 issue of Nintendo Power[2] \- an issue that essentially previewed games that were going to be released in the fourth quarter of that year (up to and including some Christmas releases). A future-themed issue of the same magazine would review this game, giving it average marks in fields like graphics, overall game play, and its overall fun factor.[citation needed] While he criticized the animation and music, Captain Cameron of GamePro gave the game a generally laudatory review, particular noting its hefty challenge, imaginative settings, and colorful, detailed graphics. He summarized, "Unheralded and unexpected, Realm is one of the season's better SNES games ... a well-crafted throwback to Gunstar Heroes-style gameplay that will deliver a much-needed blast of excitement to bored SNES owners."[3]
