Chakan: The Forever Man is an action game released in 1992 for the Sega Game Gear. In this title, players control Chakan, an immortal warrior cursed to fight supernatural enemies until the end of time. The main objective is to battle through various dark and eerie levels, defeating powerful bosses while exploring intricate environments.
The game's pace is steady, combining platforming with combat elements that require timing and precision. A unique mechanic of Chakan is the protagonist's infinite life; instead of traditional health, players lose lifetimes upon taking damage, which adds a strategic layer to gameplay. This system encourages careful movement and attack patterns.
Distinctive for its gothic atmosphere and challenging enemy design, Chakan: The Forever Man stands out among Sega Game Gear titles. Its blend of dark fantasy themes and action gameplay makes it a notable entry in the portable action genre of the early 1990s.
